The Magdalene women - The Irish Times - Thu, Jun 16, 2011

The Magdalene women - The Irish Times - Thu, Jun 16, 2011: "In one of those biting ironies of history the last Magdalene laundry in Ireland, which closed in 1996, was located on Sean MacDermott Street in Dublin. It is named after the executed signatory of the 1916 Proclamation of Independence which promised to cherish all the children of the nation equally. Could there be a more bitter comment on 20th century Ireland?"
