RTE Backs Profit Claim Despite Criticism

RTE's 'Prime Time' is standing over its reporting of the money earned by the Magdalene Laundries in the wake of criticism in the official state report.

The Magdalene Laundry report said that the claim in a recent 'Prime Time' report about the profits of the Galway Magdalene Laundry in 1968 was "incorrect".

Instead of making a ˆ1m profit that year, the laundry actually made a loss of around ˆ32,000.

But the Irish Independent has learned that 'Prime Time' is insisting that it made no such claim about the profitability of the Galway Magdalene Laundry and is fully standing over its report.
