Letter to be delivered to Justice Minister today
Several groups representing survivors of the Magdalene Laundries will deliver a letter to the Minister for Justice today calling for justice for the forgotten families of the victims of institutional abuse.
They’re calling on the government to fast track the redress scheme for aging survivors, and to grant free legal aid to people taking a case to the Mother & Baby Homes Commission.
The letter has been written by Angela Collins, whose grandmother spent 27 years in a Magdalene laundry and was buried in a mass grave with 72 other women.
