It is right that the Irish Govenerment has appologised and yes they should be made to pay to each and all of the victims of this abuse, but what of the Roman Catholic church who's nuns ran these laundries, they should be made to pay a dam sight more, and people should be held to account for this abuse. Not even a sorry from their lips have been said!
The tax payers Pardon me conspired with the church and state , and the state imprisoned the victims there Same as nazi Germany At least the Germans apologised The Irish people have not Completely are complicite with the abuse Sex was sinful Mental institutions full of unfortunate coming to terms with this denial Some country Shame
my dads mom was locked in one of these vile institutions for a long time. my dad born in 1934, sold on to another family. when he tried to get his mother released was told she couldnt leave as only her mother and sister signed her in and they were the only ones who could sign her out. THE CATHOLIC CHURCH need to release records, and admit their wrong doing. absolutely sick. my dad never got to know his mom, he doesnt know who his dad is as she was placed in there and gave birth to a girl first, so how did my dad get conceived if she couldnt leave. vile priests....
It would seem that most folks believe that these places only existed in Ireland. NOT SO THEY WERE WORLDWIDE! I spent two and a half years in one such place - The Convent of the Good Shepherd, Lichfield Hall, in Blackley, Manchester. It was horrendous. It was not a 'mother and baby' home at that time (1966-68), but an institution incarcerating young teenage girls who were in the 'care system' for a variety of reasons. At that time the Social/Child Welfare Services never inspected the places where children/ teens were dumped, hence so much 'historic abuse' now coming to light. There will never be an apology or any form recompense for those of us outside of Ireland.
When I watched the movie the Magdalen Sister's and seen all these girls went through I felt so sorry for them. I was happy to see some escape and wished they all could. I can't stand the nun's to this day and wish evil upon them.
The Catholic Church nuns priests are nothing but bullies sex offenders they should be jailed give all those incarcerated some justice poor poor women children..the Catholic Church are all Hippocrates shame on Ireland
.....And wish evil on the nuns.....Yes, I do too, especially one named Sister Imelda, why, she was so rude to me on a few occasions and has now died, I'm pleased to say.....And yes, I hope she ended her days in hell.....(And incidentally, I am a practising Catholic, even though I say that and stick by what I said.....She was one evil woman.)
too little too late for me they belong in the court of human rights and should be imprisoned for the rest of there life from the fucking pope down to the pedophile priests.
I am from Mexico... Even in a 3rd. world country, nobody would take your baby away! What is abhorrent is that there are ONLY 81 comments! The Irish State STILL HAS NOT DONE EVERYTHING IT SHOULD!
It’s so shocking that these poor poor women was treated like this the nuns priests should be convicted of Cruelty sexual abuse murder of babies shameful Ireland government should be a shamed compensate all those that have suffered..such an Hippocratical country Justice to all have suffered🥰
Considering the last laundry closed in 1996 and most of the nuns were at least middle aged, safe to say nearly all are now dead. What a miscarriage of justice.
no - because all their lies & cruelty would have been absolved everytime they went to 'Confession'! The chief priest or holy mother would have told them to say 3/4/5 (or any number of) 'Hail Marys' and their consciences would be free of guilt anyway! This criminality Is what the church in Rome condones in the name of God - but ordinary criminals AT LEAST admit to what they are and do. Those sadistic and sexually frustrated 'women' were free to repeat the abuse as soon as they stepped out of the Confessional box.
The most astonishing and disgusting part of the whole Magdalene Laundry story to me, is the total acceptance of these evil institutions by the WHOLE IRISH POPULATION AND FAMILIES OF THOSE POOR WOMEN. I just cannot comprehend how any parent could banish and condemn their own child to such a place and fate, for the 'crime' of becoming pregnant or getting raped. How can a whole country be so wicked and cruel? That is the biggest shock and tragedy to me....the fact the whole entire country was in on it and supported this evil regime.
The government never. Wanted to be responsible for heath and education and still don't the main objects. The. Irish language and. The. 6 ccounties. The Church. Took The job. on also no women's prisons,, and massive immigration I know a woman who volunteers to go. To Magdalene home. Also many families did not want. Some. Girls
chopper harris now watch FG lie, avoid, drag their feet over redress, as Michael Noonan did with his victims re: the Hep C case in the 80's... dragged his feet till as many of his victims had died to avoid redress.... shameful basturds....

The taxpayer should not have to pay for this.
The tax payers Pardon me conspired with the church and state , and the state imprisoned the victims there
Same as nazi Germany
At least the Germans apologised
The Irish people have not
Completely are complicite with the abuse
Sex was sinful
Mental institutions full of unfortunate coming to terms with this denial

Where is the apology from the church?
Sylvie Bhola damn right.
Yeah
Why would they apologise? They're not sorry. Bunch of horrible cunts they are
The church has hidden this, as other abuse, behind the name of God. Shameful.

These abusers are lower than rats in their behaviour to humans.
these nuns should be punished
Doesn't go any way near far enough. Prosecutions should follow and all living culpable parties subjected to the same treatment
When I watched the movie the Magdalen Sister's and seen all these girls went through I felt so sorry for them. I was happy to see some escape and wished they all could. I can't stand the nun's to this day and wish evil upon them.

And a couple of weeks prior to the apology he told the same people, the same victims to fuck off, they were not going to get a penny out of him..
It was also the State that used the Gardai to sent back escaped women
No apology from the Catholic Church though !!!
Poor Mary. God bless her
too little too late for me they belong in the court of human rights and should be imprisoned for the rest of there life from the fucking pope down to the pedophile priests.

All those nuns need their day in court. Then theyd feel a huge sense of relief.
How can anyone in Ireland - or anywhere else really - remain Catholic after learning of this?
Because an individual’s faith is stronger then the evil actions of those perpetrators
POVERTY WAS ALL OVERIRELAN
Donal 😊
they need tobe closed down for good
Why I hate the catholic chugrch 101.
Apology is useless without a countrywide second level education historical program NOT run by any church
wheres all these bloody nuns now,
....I don't think they're all dead but will be highly protected by the state and church - still trying to sweep it all under the carpet.
Hell.
Considering the last laundry closed in 1996 and most of the nuns were at least middle aged, safe to say nearly all are now dead. What a miscarriage of justice.
Find the EXACT women ( not really nuns!) and make them take full responsibility. Psych cases they were, and evil!
I don't believe any apology from the nuns
no - because all their lies & cruelty would have been absolved everytime they went to 'Confession'! The chief priest or holy mother would have told them to say 3/4/5 (or any number of) 'Hail Marys' and their consciences would be free of guilt anyway!
