Episode notes

On Tuesday, 19 February 2013, the Irish Government offered an unreserved apology to survivors of Ireland's Magdalene Laundries. Steven and the women he worked with led the charge to secure such an outcome. However, will Steven get the Stanhope Street laundry in Dublin and the Summerhill laundry in Wexford included, or will all his work for those women be in vain? This episode goes behind the scenes to reveal what it was like for Steven and the women in the weeks leading up to the state apology. It details Steven's work to have the women's stories amplified and explains how their drive to achieve their ultimate goal was realised.
