Taoiseach Enda Kenny’s decision not to apologise immediately for the State’s involvement in the Magdalene Laundries has been supported by British-based survivors, following a meeting in London today.
Mr Kenny, along with the Minister for Justice Alan Shatter and Minister of State Kathleen Lynch, heard the personal stories of 15 of the women during a two hour meeting at the Irish Embassy this afternoon.
Later, Cllr Sally Mulready, who runs a support group for some of the women in Britain, said: “There was a consensus that the Taoiseach was quite wise not to have done so until he had read the report and before next week’s Dáil debate.”
