SIM Ep 164 Chops 59: The legacy of the laundries

In September, councillors rejected plans to sell the site of the last of Ireland's infamous Magdalene Laundries to a Japanese hotel chain. We met Dr Maeve O'Rourke to find out what survivors would like to see on the site instead, as well as learn more about what life was like for women who found themselves incarcerated there against their will. And how they still face a battle for justice. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/standardissuespodcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
