the report into the Magdalene Laundries, published yesterday. We had a chance to read it… The mandate of the Committee (Ch 2 para 8) was to find out facts regarding State involvement in Magdalene Laundries.
The report shows this involvement to be extensive and to occur through the criminal justice system (ch 9), industrial and reformatory schools (ch 10) and the mental health system (ch 11) it also shows in Ch 9 State involvement in keeping girls in laundries e.g. Gardai returning girls who had run away.
