The McAleese report into the Mandalene laundries found significant State involvement

Vigils have been held in Galway city and in Glasnevin Cemetery in remembrance and in support of women who were retained in Magdalene Laundries.

Those who attended were asked to bring candles and flowers to be placed on graves and at memorials.

The recently-published McAleese report into the Mandalene Laundries found significant State involvement in the institutions.

Taoiseach Enda Kenny has already apologised to survivors on behalf of the State.
