A group representing survivors of Magdalene Laundries is calling on the government to completely remove the Sisters of Charity from the development of the new maternity hospital in Dublin.

The Magdalene Survivors Together group say although the Sisters gave the land for free, they believe they should not have any involvement in the running of the New Maternity Hospital because of the the hurt they caused in the past.

They claim religious identity, ethos and inference will remain at the heart of every decision made in the Hospital.
