It's now over 24 hours since the Taoiseach spoke in Dáil Éireann apologising to the Magdalene women for the role the State played in their incarceration and brutal treatment.
So far it seems there has not been a word from any religious superior, bishop or archbishop, offering an apology for what the Catholic Church did.
In these chambers of horror women and girls were humiliated, deprived and told to pray.
Linking prayer with a chamber of horror must be unspeakable
It would be interesting to know if any anonymous or indeed non-anonymous letters were sent to the Vatican on what was happening in these places.
Were any sisters, clerics, bishops reprimanded by the Vatican for their behaviour?
Will there be any acknowledgement from the Irish Church, from the Vatican on what happened?
