Survivors of Catholic run workhouses in Ireland are awaiting an apology today, when an Inter-Departmental Committee report is published into the State’s involvement in their detention and exploitation.
Sensitive information contained in the report investigation the State’s involvement in Magdalene laundries, will not be contained in the report, which is due to be published online at 4pm on Tuesday.
The Irish Times reports that ‘appropriate safeguards’ were implemented to ensure “the sensitivity and confidentiality of the records”.
The report said, “in no case would such sensitive personal data be published or made available to the public without the consent of the data subject”.
