Brady: Church wants to find ‘just solution’

ALL IRELAND Primate and Archbishop of Armagh, Cardinal Seán Brady has told a clerical abuse survivors group that the Church is committed to finding a “just solution” to the victims of the Magdalene Laundries.

A representative group from Survivors of Church Abuse (SOCA) met with the Cardinal yesterday where they raised the Magdalenes’ ongoing campaign for an apology and a redress scheme.

Cardinal Brady told the former clerical abuse victims that he personally believed the Pope’s pastoral letter and its apology placed a responsibility upon the religious orders to address what had happened in the country’s laundries.
