Stories from an Irish Magdalene Laundry

Hundreds of Irish women were incarcerated in Irish Magdalene laundries run by religious orders in the past. For many of them, their experiences in these places were horrendous. On Sunday 12th July, Maureen O'Sullivan and "Sharon" talked to Irish broadcaster and journalist Karen Coleman about their experiences in Irish Magdalene laundries. They were speaking to Karen on her show "The Wide Angle" on Newstalk106-108.

To these brave women; thank you for sharing your experiences. it was a very sophisiticated system of degrading women.

I feel very badly for all the poor young women who were victimized by the Church in this way (and every other). My deepest sympathy for the wasted, stunted years and psychological damage inevitably incurred. Screw those money-grubbing, controlling bastards in black robes.

There's only one conclusion regarding these incidents. THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH including its pope, cardinals, priests and nuns is an INSTRUMENT OF satan. Dumbass stupid die hard catholics should start realizing it.

@VampireEyes That's like leaving someone to drown when you know how to swim.

[SantaFeDreamer]

The men who did this are the same ones who told the Irish to support Hitler.

@ModraMagic I think people turned a blind eye because they were taught that the church was the higher power. Whatever the church said was law. I'm sure people knew some of what was going on in places like that but they were told not to look at them or talk about them or to them because they were told that they {the girls} brought it on themselves.
