A PROTEST IS to take place outside the Sisters of Mercy provincial office in Cork this weekend over the Magdalene Laundries.
The event is supported by Cork Feminista, which said it was organised in response to the Sisters of Mercy’s “refusal to acknowledge, or pay for, the many wrongs done to inmates of Magdalene Laundries”.
Over the past weeks the survivors and their supporters have collected over 1,000 signatures calling for the four religious orders that operated the Magdalene Laundries to pay into the government compensation fund for the remaining survivors.
