   What happened at Magdalene Laundries?

   • Were it not for the bravery of survivors, what happened in mother-and-baby homes and Magdalene Laundries would have largely remained hidden in history. But secrets have been shattered - and the power of shame broken - by the testimonies of people who suffer trauma to this day. The last institution in Northern Ireland closed only in 1990.

   Why did the Magdalene Laundries need public money?

   • Instead public money went to the orders to maintain them within institutions. When in around the 1970s the Magdalene laundries struggled to remain economically viable, the religious congregations requested that the State fund them to keep ageing women and women with disabilities in the institutions.
