Magdalene laundries' controversy - 20 years on - RTÉ News
Irish Magdalene Laundries.
A site to discuss clergy sexual abuse of children and adult women. I founded MACSAS - UK. I live in Ireland. I was raped by an Anglican priest in the 1980's in the UK.. I later discovered he'd molested many other young adult students. My 2009 PhD was entitled 'The well from which we drink is poisoned - Clergy Sexual Exploitation of adult women'. my other blog discusses abuse of disabled children, disability rights: http://drragingwheels.bogspot.com

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'.

"we know he is innocent" how do they 'know', haven't we heard this before. Still it is the PRIEST who is believed not the alleged victim.

Geoffrey Robinson is a sexual abuse survivor, A Catholic Bishop shunned (largely) by his own 'Brothers in Christ' (sic).
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!

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??
