The report of the committee investigating State involvement with the Magdalen Laundries between 1922 and 1996 has been published. A press conference was held in the George Frederic Handel Hotel today.
Four congregations ran Magdalen Laundries: The Sisters of Our Lady of Charity, the Mercy Sisters, the Sisters of Charity and the Good Shepherd Sisters.
Minister for Justice Alan Shatter said the report covers a broad range of substantive areas.
These include the routes by which women entered the Magdalen Laundries, inspection of the Magdalen Laundries as workplaces covered by the Factories Acts, financial assistance to the Magdalen Laundries, detailed statistical analysis and much more.
