Episode notes

On February 5, 2013, Senator Martin McAleese published his findings on State Interaction in Ireland's Magdalene Laundries. As Steven and the women prepare for the report's publication, the political reaction leaves the Magdalene survivors reeling. Steven and the women find themselves front and centre of this storm. Now, they ask themselves, was their campaign for justice all in vain, or will the women and Steven triumph against the odds? This episode includes survivor testimony from Magdalene survivor Josephine Meade, and some listeners may find that interview upsetting.
