The Minister was “committed to ensuring” investigation of the “extent to which the State had an engagement of any description” with the laundries, where thousands of women were sent against their will.


Quote:
It also emerged that the Health Service Executive gave €87 million between 2006 and 2010 to three of the four religious congregations that ran the laundries between 1922 and 1996.

What the hell is this about? Jesus Christ, with the state the country is in. Is this the indemnity deal money being handed back?
