I think every government minister male and female should have stood up and gave a standing ovation to all who passed through the doors of any Magdalene laundries but no this did not happen our so called leader Enda Kenny choose to stand there and stutter his way through a few meaningless words which meant nothing he has shown it for what the government are past and present a male dominant run anti woman . To the women who were in the Dail they as women should have stood up and stood and demanded an apology as women .
The only person who challenged Enda kenny was Mary Lou McDonald she stood her ground against him while he sneered her and referred to Sinn Fein as IRA and there past , this is not a political firing range this was about what happened to thousand ,s
of women in the laundries of Ireland . I as a woman and a product of the mother and baby homes are truly disgusted at Tuesdays out come and i am calling on all persons man and woman to challenge this government how dare Kenny stand there heartless and ask for 2 weeks he knew full well what was in the report , time so he can try and cover up and offer a measly pay out ?? still leaving those women in the pain and torture they endured at church and governments hands , they washed and scrubbed for the government and its pay masters with out pay time now to pay up and go on bended knees and ask for there forgiveness . so to any person who reads this copy paste send to every corner of the earth so they are in constant reminders of what Ireland done when it was suppose to be the Land of the Free.
