Catholic priest says any available finance should be used for compensation
A Catholic priest says that the religious orders involved in running the Magdalene laundries should make any funds that they can available to the redress scheme.
Father Paddy Byrne, a curate in Portlaoise, was speaking about the decision by religious orders not to contribute on today’s Newstalk Lunchtime.
