Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

To say we are playing games with the Magdalen women is an outrageous statement. Long before Deputy McDonald and I were born, this situation arose and no Government in the history of the State did anything about it. It was swept aside and under the carpet. Everybody in this House accepted that the appointment of Mr. Justice Quirke to look at the Magdalen situation was the way to go. He undertook to have a report back inside 12 weeks or three months.
