Transcript

00:00You're asking me about the history of the Magdalene and my experience of it.

00:07Yeah, it was perfect, but I bloody hell didn't deserve that.

00:12The long-awaited report into the Magdalene Laundries has found there was significant state involvement.

00:19The Taoiseach and the Doyle expressed his regret but stopped short of offering a full apology.

00:24How can a state apologise for something that was done legally?

00:27Statutory-based torture?

00:30No.

00:31Statutory-based arbitrary incarceration?

00:34How could we not know that one in every hundred was locked up?

00:39We had to put the state in the dock, make it answer for the crimes against its citizens.

00:46Their stories were actually testimony and that counted as a form of evidence.

00:53It was like a prison.

00:56I escaped and immediately they got the police.

01:00This was state involvement on a whole new level.

01:03I cried every day for my baby.

01:07You want to know what your child is about?

01:10They're not former residents.

01:12They're survivors.

01:13They're heroines.

01:14They worked for no pay.

01:15They deserve their justice.

01:17I had been given this series of vaccines.

01:21They don't know were there any lasting effects.

01:25The vast majority of women who went to these institutions went there voluntarily.

01:29When will this government say we violated your human rights and we are sorry?

01:40No.

01:41No.

01:42They are protected.

01:43No.

01:44No.

01:45We cannot understand if.

01:47No.

01:48But we have no waiting for you to wear to be successful.

01:49No.

01:50No.

01:51We are not going to say we are going to go to our borders.

01:53No.

01:54No.

01:55No.

01:56No.

01:57No.

01:58No.

01:59No.

02:00No.

02:01No.

02:02No.

02:03No.

02:04No.

02:06No.
