Today, in the short time I had to listen to the radio, I heard a story about the last woman to work in a Magdalene laundry in Dublin. She was buried in Glasnevin cemetery in August after her death at the age of 51 years. She was buried under the name Mary but that was not her name. When a woman who knew her got in touch with Glasnevin cemetery to find out where she was buried in order that she could visit the grave, she discovered the woman had been buried under the name Mary. Have we learned nothing? We have known about the scandal of the Magdalene laundries for a number of years but we still seem to be caught in the same cycle of actions. These actions were offensive in the past and are offensive in the present. There is no reason that they should be offensive in the future if we learn lessons from the past and behave in a new way.
