	Call for Inquiry into Magdalene Laundries TV3 November 10, 2010 http://www.tv3.ie/article.php?article_id=47860&locID=1.2.&pagename=news [with video] A statutory inquiry should be held into the treatment of women and girls in Magdalene laundries, according to the Irish Human Rights Commission. It also believes survivors should be entitled to compensation. The Irish Human Rights Commission (IHRC) today called on the Government to immediately establish a statutory inquiry into the notorious laundries. At a press conference in Dublin this morning, they also said appropriate financial redress should be made available to survivors. The Justice for Magdalenes group welcomed the call for investigation saying "The Government must move beyond its 'deny 'til they die' policy. JFM has written to the four religious congregations which operated the Magdalene laundries three times in the past year, none of whom has indicated a willingness to meet the group.
