Anger in Ireland as the country fails to address its past

AdministratorFebruary 10, 2013

The Irish government has admitted that the state was involved with forced labour at the so-called Magdalene Laundries, kinds of catholic workhouses, between 1922 and 1996.

Claire McGettrick is the co-founder of the group Justice for Magdalenes.
