THE JUSTICE FOR Magdalenes (JFM) group has announced today it is to end its political campaign.
The group, which began its campaign in June 2009, said that it believes it has achieved all it can by way of political advocacy. Survivors from the Magdalene laundries in Ireland received an apology from the Irish State and news that a compensation scheme was established for them by the Irish government on 19 February.
JFM had been set up as a voluntary group to achieve such goals, and said today:
It is the collective responsibility of all citizens to ensure that the promise of An Taoiseach’s official State apology (19 February 2013) is delivered upon.
