Women who died in Magdalene Laundries remembered this weekend

Events to remember women who lived and died in Magdalene Laundries and convents, took place around the country this weekend.

The Flowers for Magdalene events honour women who were sent to work in laundries run by religious orders.

Last week the Justice For Magdalene group criticised a report on the Laundries, which they say ignored the testimonies of Magdalene survivors.

The group say the events this weekend were to provide the women with dignity in death, and to make sure they're not forgotten.
