Enda Kenny does not want to take legal action to force religious orders to contribute to the Magdalene fund.
The Taoiseach played down speculation that the Government will force them to foot up some of their multi-million euro redress scheme for survivors of the institutions.
The scheme is expected to cost between €34.5 million and €58 million, depending on how many women apply.
Mr Kenny said he would like to think they would reconsider their decision but he “can’t force them to”.
He added: “I have no interest in going down the legal route of confrontation with the religious orders.”
