PUBLIC demonstrations in support of Magdalene survivors will be held on the streets of Dublin unless Taoiseach Enda Kenny steps up and makes a full and proper apology.

Claire McGettrick, of the Justice For Magdalenes group, today warned that the fight for justice for the women who lived in slave-like conditions in institutions run by nuns is far from over.

The comments come following the publication yesterday of an 18-month inquiry headed by outgoing Senator Martin McAleese.

So far there has been no official apology from the State or any commitment to provide a a redress scheme for the survivors.
