32 Magdalene laundry survivors get increased redress payment

Thirty-two Magdalene laundry survivors, who had been in dispute with the Department of Justice about the length of time they worked in a laundry, have received an increased redress payment.

The women were granted increased awards as part of a review process established in the wake of Ombudsman Peter Tyndall’s scathing 2017 report into the Magdalene redress scheme.
