Survivors of the Magdalene laundries will continue to press the Taoiseach for an apology.
Yesterday the Taoiseach’s office contacted members of the Magdalene Survivors Together group, accepting an invitation to a meeting received from the group on Tuesday. The date of the meeting has not been confirmed.
The group will be represented by four survivors including Maureen O’Sullivan and Marina Gumbold and two other women who wish to remain anonymous, spokesman Steven O’Riordan said.
The Taoiseach also invited survivors from the London-based Irish Women’s Survivors’ Network to attend. However, spokeswoman Phyllis Morgan said it was too short notice.
