Show Notes

In Steven's pursuit of justice for the women in Ireland's Magdalene Laundries, he sets up the Magdalene Survivors Together group. A support network that brings the women closer and allows them to build friendships with each other. This group becomes the driving force for their political campaign and enables the survivors to prepare for their next meeting with the Minister for Justice. Separately, Steven begins working with Frank Buttimmer, solicitors, in Cork on exploring the possibility of taking a class action against the State if they fail to acknowledge the women's suffering. Their meeting with the Minister changes everything.
