PAYOUTS totalling €100m could be made to almost 1,000 former residents of Magdalene laundries.
Details of a system of compensation and State assistance will be finalised at a meeting of the Cabinet tomorrow.
The women’s experiences will be considered on a case by case basis by a person appointed by the State to access how best to address their individual needs.
Former residents say that a process of compensation amounting to more than €100m should be set up within a month and wound up by August, so as not to allow the issue to drag on.
