Martin Conway: The Taoiseach's speech yesterday on the Magdalen laundries was encrypted with humanity, humility, compassion, understanding, generosity and the type of leadership that we expect from a man of his calibre.

Aideen Hayden: ...work. It is important to remember that what is happening is a step along the road. The real proof of the pudding will lie in the quality of the redress that will be given to the victims of the Magdalen laundries. I regret to say that I do not believe this is the end of the story.

Such redress must not favour the legal profession substantially; rather, the money should be directed...

It was welcome, fulsome and honest, and it is certainly a day on which we can now move on to make redress in the financial and other ways required by these ladies who suffered so gravely in these institutions. I want to put on the...
