A report on state involvement in the slave-like conditions in the Magdalene laundries is expected to be published in four weeks.

Justice Minister Alan Shatter revealed that he will receive what he called a substantial review within 10 days before bringing it to Government.

“As soon as I have had an opportunity to read what I understand to be a very substantial report, I will bring it to Government and it will then be published. I expect its publication within approximately four weeks,” said Mr Shatter.

The timeframe for the review was extended in November after additional material came to light.
