Taoiseach Enda Kenny is in London today for a meeting with women who spent time in Magdalene laundries and subsequently left Ireland.
The meeting is taking place at the Irish Embassy in Grosvenor Place.
A report by former senator Martin McAleese found that some 10,000 women and girls entered Magdalene laundries after 1922 and that more than a quarter of the referrals had been made or facilitated by the State
Mr Kenny was criticised for stopping short of delivering an apology on behalf of the State on the day the report appeared.
