Taoiseach Enda Kenny has said he hopes for a quick Cabinet decision after it discusses the report on redress for the survivors of the Magdalene laundries within the next two weeks.
He said that the report, from retired judge Mr Justice Quirke, had been sent to Minister for Justice Alan Shatter and his views and the report’s recommendations would be considered by the Cabinet before it makes a decision.
“It is only fair to say that after so many years of nothing having been done about this, the Government put in place a structure and process by which a conclusion could be brought to the issue of the Magdalene survivors and the sensitivity, hurt and trauma associated with it.”
