Three Labour TDs have called on the Taoiseach to make an urgent apology to residents of the Madgalene laundries.
Labour TD for Dublin North Sean Kenny said that two weeks is too long to wait for an apology, after Taoiseach Enda Kenny earlier told the Dáil he wanted to use the next two weeks to decide how best to deal with the needs and requirements of the Magdalene survivors.
However, speaking on RTÉ’s News at One, Sean Kenny said that he believes the Taoiseach should have been more decisive about when an apology should be forthcoming.
He said that he was going to bring this up at a meeting with his parliamentary colleagues, and he added that the issue of compensation needed to be addressed in more detail.
