Episode notes

On 3rd July 2013, Steven and the Magdalene women were invited to Áras an Uachtaráin to meet with the President of Ireland, Michael D Higgins; here, he acknowledged the work Steven and the women had done in securing a state apology. The President asks Steven to say a few words about the journey he and the women went on before he addresses Steven and the women. RTE News correspondent Joe Little caught these intimate moments on camera, and this episode gives the listener a unique insight into the women's reaction and what Steven and the President said on that day.
