Phyllis McMahon from Finglas in Dublin joined the Mercy Sisters in 1952. She worked at one of the now infamous 'Magdalene Laundries'.
She left the congregation before final vows. Later she worked as an actor.
When her Itallian-born husband died the first people she called to convey the news were the Mercy Sisters.
"I spent the most impressionable years of my life there. I just couldn't get away from them, really."
What is it at all?
