Laundry compensation deal slammed - Yahoo! News UK#WxLanBg#WxLanBg

Women in the Irish Laundaries are unhappy with the compensation package.  I think they are justified.  spending a year in one of these places and only getting 20,000e is quite unbelievable!

these were dreadful places.  The hardships were enormous, the lasting damage was life-long/is life-long.  20,000e will not last long.  Not the way Ireland is now and what these women NEED.

I think we should all be concerned.

Not sure who the guy is leading this group but wish the women were 'leading themselves'.

I've met him, a holy, gentle and lovely man.  This book is bound to be a stunner.

The Magdalene report was seriously flawed.  The Irish Government need to give some REAL answers.  The report was not GOOD ENOUGH!

Mayo Marist brother acquitted of sexually abusing students

Mayo Marist brother acquitted of sexually abusing students

I fail to understand how the judge can say severe violence was 'not a crime at the time' .  Violence against children is always a crime and assault, surely, has been on the statute books for decades??
