Women’s Day tribute to former Magdalen residents

FLOWERS are to be laid at the graves of the Magdalen Laundry women, who died at the Good Shepherd Convent on Clare Street, tomorrow, March 8.
The event has been organised by the ‘Art in the Making’ group from the Limerick College of Art and Design and will mark International Women’s Day, which takes place this Thursday.
The group is inviting any concerned citizens to join them at St. Lawrence Cemetery Gate at 3pm tomorrow to lay flowers at the graves of the Magdalen Laundry women who died at the Good Shepherd Convent on Clare Street.
“In doing so we remember women who, for too long, were forgotten by Irish society and in remembering them we afford them a measure of dignity in death that was too often denied them in life”, said a spokesperson.
