Survivors of the Magdalene Laundries are to meet Judge John Quirke today to discuss proposed compensation packages.
The Government last February asked the Law Reform Commission president to carry out a review to devise recommendations on payments and support.
The 75 members of the Magdalene Survivors Together group will meet him today.
Taoiseach Enda Kenny has said that when Judge Quirke has reported, the Government will establish a fund to assist the women, based on his recommendations.
