JFM group seek clarifications before meeting Taoiseach

The Justice for Magdalenes group is seeking clarifications before it decides if it will attend a meeting with the Taoiseach.

Both Enda Kenny and the Tánaiste Eamon Gilmore will meet with other survivor groups tomorrow.

The meeting was arranged in the wake of the McAleese report, which found evidence of state involvement in the running of the laundries.

Clare McGettrick of the Justice for Magdalenes group is seeking assurances that the survivors privacy will be protected.

“We haven’t received a formal invitation from an Taoiseach’s office. We received an initial reproach from an official from another department.

“We requested clarifications because the women we are in contact with are very private and will need certain guarantees put in place to guarantee their anonymity from the media.”
