Report: Ireland oversaw harsh Catholic laundries

The interior of the now derelict Sisters of Our Lady of Charity Magdalene Laundry, in Dublin, Ireland, Tuesday, Feb. 5, 2013. An expert panel has found that Ireland should be legally responsible for workhouses run by Catholic nuns that once kept thousands of women and teenage girls against their will in unpaid, forced labor. Tuesday's report analyzing the defunct Magdalene Laundries found state authorities committed about one-quarter of 10,012 women to the workhouses from 1922 to 1996, often in response to school truancy or homelessness. Ireland stigmatized them as "fallen" women — prostitutes — but most were simply unwed mothers or daughters of them. The report found that 15 percent lived in the workhouses for more than five years, and police caught and returned women who fled. They endured 12-hour work days of washing and ironing. Tuesday's findings could pave the way for a state apology and payments to survivors. (AP Photo/Julien Behal, PA) UNITED KINGDOM OUTDUBLIN (AP) — Ireland's government oversaw workhouses run by Catholic nuns that once held thousands of women and teenage girls in unpaid labor and usually against their will, a fact-finding report concluded Tuesday, establishing state involvement in the country's infamous Magdalene Laundries for the first time.

The legal defense the hospital group has since disavowed stems from a malpractice and wrongful death lawsuit filed by Jeremy Stodghill in the 2006 deaths of his pregnant wife, Lori, and the couple's twin fetuses. ...
