Although I could be mistaken, I am certainly not aware of anything following on from the Ryan commission or the residential institutions redress scheme that made labour, including forced labour, a significant consideration. I suggest, although I may be mistaken, that part of the reason the Ombudsman felt there was no requirement to revisit the Magdalen laundry scheme or anything like it was the fact that many of the complainants had been residents of the industrial schools or residential institutions but had been subject to forced labour in the Magdalen laundries, the component by which they should be able to access the Magdalen laundries redress scheme. Is that a fair appraisal of the case of the Ombudsman?
