These images show some of the remaining items from a Dubin 4 Magdalene laundry, including baskets destined for Aras an Uachtarain.
Religious statues, old machinery and trunks used to transport fresh laundry are all still stored at the facility, which also operated as a commercial laundry from 1992 to 2006.
Mr Flynn has called for the items to be protected as “important reminders” of Ireland’s industrial heritage.
He said he does not want to see a museum documenting the history of the laundries, but said history must be preserved all the same.
“These items need to be stored by people who understand them,” said Mr Flynn (below).
