POPSFormer Magdelaine Laundries residents still seeking justice
"The time to act is now. The government must move beyond its deny 'til they die' policy," said James Smith, an English professor at Boston College who advises the pressure group. He authored a 2007 book, "Ireland's Magdalene Laundries and the Nation's Culture of Containment." Smith said survivors in Ireland, Britain and the U.S. mainly hoped to receive a formal apology from the Irish government and the orders of nuns that ran the laundries. He said the laundries operated as businesses but paid its workers nothing, breaking myriad Irish laws on forced labor, ill treatment and personal freedoms in the process. In 2001, the government ... launched a compensation fund that eventually awarded payments averaging euro62,860 ($86,750) to more than 13,000 claimants worldwide. But residents of the laundries were specifically excluded from the system. Catholic officials declined to comment, arguing that Tuesday's report concerned the victims and the government. Weep.
