Galway native singer Mary Coughlan will lead a candle lit vigil tomorrow evening outside the Dáil in solidarity with the Magdalene survivors and their families.

The Vigil at 5pm will precede the Dáil Debate on the McAleese Report during which the Magdalene Laundry survivor groups say they’re hopeful the Taoiseach will make a full formal apology.

The McAleese report found the State had a hand in the running of the laundries, one of which was located at Forster Street in the city.
