   When did Magdalene laundry close?

   • “The scale of it, how many lives it touched, and how long it went on for – it ended so recently.” When an unmarked mass grave containing 155 bodies was found in convent grounds at one of the laundries in 1993, the scandal could no longer be buried.

   • Cillian Murphy, promoting Small Things Like These in Berlin, has said the use of Magdalene laundries were a "collective trauma" on the Irish people. Reuniting with her former Disco Pig helped boost their on-screen familiarity, she says, just as the subject had a remarkable familiarity to her own life.
