The question of redress for women who had been in Magdalen laundries is to be discussed at the Fianna Fáil parliamentary party today.
Dublin South TD Tom Kitt has already been in correspondence with Minister for Education Batt O’Keeffe on the matter, but little progress has been made.
Seven women who had been in the laundries are due to meet officials for discussions at the Department of Justice and Law reform next Wednesday.
Maureen Sullivan, Kathleen Egg, Mary Smyth, Maureen Taynor, Mary Collins, Sadie Williams and Marina Fitzgerald took part in the documentary The Forgotten Maggieswhich was shown at this year's Galway Film Fleadh.
