Bethany survivors deserve redress scheme
A 2002 State redress scheme was set up to make fair and reasonable awards to persons, who, as children, were abused while resident in industrial Schools, reformatories and institutions subject to State regulation or inspections.
Martin McAleese led an independent investigation into the Magdalene Laundries and in his report last year concluded that the State was responsible for supporting them and recommended that women who lived and worked years in the Magdalene Laundries to receive compensation.
