It’s calling for a redress scheme that provides individual compensation for every woman that lived there.
It’s published its Follow Up Report on State Involvement in the Magdalene Laundries – ahead of the Government’s publication of its compensation scheme for survivors later this month.
Irish Human Rights Commissioner Professor Siobhan Mullally says compensation for the women involved is important.
