The Magdalenes and I Steven O'Riordan podcast

The Magdalenes and I 

It will never and should never be anything less than powerful hearing the women who spent time in Magdalene laundries tell their stories. We hear their voices in this new series by Steven O'Riordan from Millstreet, County Cork. One survivor, Mary Norris, told him: “I lost two years of my life from 1950 to ‘52, I don’t know what happened in Ireland, I don’t know what happened in the world. I might as well have been dead.”
