IRELAND
Irish Examiner

The Taoiseach has said the Government will consider including the women who worked at Summerhill in Co Wexford under a new redress scheme for the women of the Magdalene laundries.

Summerhill was designated as a training centre and was not included in the report into the Magdalene laundries carried out by former Senator Martin McAleese.

Enda Kenny said the Government wanted to ensure that the compensation scheme was administered in the simplest, and most effective way possible.

And he said the Cabinet would consider including Summerhill in Wexford under the scheme.
