The State Investigates

Episode notes

As the Irish State agrees to investigate its role in the Magdalene Laundries, Steven prepares to meet the chairperson of that group, Martin McAleese, to outline his evidence of State interaction and submit the stories he gathered of the women to the committee. Steven also presents the committee with a Magdalene Laundry ledger detailing the State's financial contributions to a Magdalene Laundry in Dublin. Steven also submits key evidence of State involvement to other Magdalene laundries operating throughout Ireland.

Soon, word begins to filter through that the Stanhope Laundry, where Kathleen Legg resided, will not be part of the state investigation, leaving the survivors shocked and bewildered.
