I have been working closely with my colleagues, Deputies Connolly and Joan Collins, Senators Higgins and Ruane, as well as linking with Dr. Maeve O’Rourke of Justice for Magdalenes Research and, of course, considering all correspondence received by my office also from groups such as Aitheantas - Adoptee Identity Rights in developing my amendments...

Dara Calleary: On 19 February 2013, the then Taoiseach, Enda Kenny, gave a State apology and the Visitors Gallery was full that night of survivors of the Magdalen laundries. It was one of the stand-out nights of my time in this House to meet those women, to see their courage and their strengthen and to hear of their journeys and how they survived them.

I was not born in the 1920s. Our last Magdalen laundry closed in the 1990s, so not alone is this not ancient history, this is very real, very recent history. This is the story of people's lives and the Minister has no right, and...
