Shameful treatment of Ireland’s ‘white salves’

HAVING listened to Live Line over the last few days about the dreadful conditions those “fallen” women of the Magdalene Laundries endured I am almost in tears.

You see, I was one of those babies and ever since I have had a “chip” on my shoulder.

When I hear how my mother, may she rest in peace, and others were treated, I feel very angry with the type of society I was born and reared in.
