Taoiseach appeals for 'space' to consider laundries report

The Taoiseach has again declined to offer a full apology to the survivors of the Magdalene laundries. He appealed for "space" to formulate the Government's response.

Opposition parties have rounded on Enda Kenny in the Dáil this morning after groups representing the women expressed their outrage that he had not given the apology they expected for the role played by the state in the laundry system.
