‘I don’t have all the time in the world to wait for an apology’

Kathleen Legge has lung cancer. She is 77.

Last week, as the Taoiseach stood in the Dáil avoiding making an apology for State involvement in the Magdalene laundries, the former pupil of St Mary’s Training School at Stanhorpe St was undergoing a radiotherapy session in the UK.

She was too sick to return home to Ireland.
