Magdalene group refutes ‘misinformation’ claims

Justice For Magdalenes Research (JFMR) has hit back at Government claims that it is issuing “factually incorrect” statements on the implementation of the Magdalene redress scheme.

The group was referring to allegations made by Equality Minister Aodhán Ó Ríordáin during a Seanad debate concerning the provision of health services to Magdalene survivors.

JFMR has argued that what is being offered by the Government in its Redress Bill in terms of the health package for survivors is not what was recommended by Justice Quirke.
