Only 60 or 70 years too late.
And now, the best settlement would be to sell off all possessions of the contemptible Catholic church (& crime organization) and divide it among the descendants of those imprisoned. It's the only moral thing you can do with this immoral cabal.
I would suggest you read the effing report moron as most went there voluntarily and a lot were sent by there parents

In the early history, women and girls were free to leave when they wanted. But especially in the 19th and 20th centuries, women and girls were held against their will and abused physically, sexually, and emotionally. It really doesn't matter if the girls were sent there by their parents. Being a parent or the guardian of a child does not permit you to abuse them and force them into slave labor.
shareFormer inmates have denied that there was any sexual abuse. and most of the girls who went there entered voluntarily.
shareSo what if their parents sent them there? Parents don't have absolute right over their children
Church and Magdalene assets should be seized and given to the victims and/or the children taken away from them
One of the things they could sell and give the money to former laundresses is an island in the Caribbean. That's right -- the Church bought an island in the Caribbean to send priests for re-education. It's in the documentary "Mea Maxima Culpa" about molestation at a school for deaf boys in Milwaukee. I saw it on HBO. If you don't get a chance to see it, one of the most interesting things is the priest who molested hundreds of boys said he was doing a good thing. That's right, he not only traumatized little boys, he insisted he was doing good. He said he was keeping them from turning into homosexuals.
Another interesting thing about that documentary is the boys put xeroxed flyers on windshields. They said "Child Molester at Large." They were desperate. The school administration and Church and police would not help them.
Sh-it's a secret!
Have you ever set foot in Ireland?
shareWhat's that supposed to mean? Do you have opinions on places you've never been? I'm sure you do. Do you have opinions on people you've never met? I'm sure you do.
I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose.
Fire away, fire away.
Does it matter if the OP has set foot in Ireland?
I have set foot in Ireland (mainly because I was born here and am Irish) and I agree with the OP 100%
How far up the Catholic Church's arse must one be?
these places existed outside of ireland also, including the usa.
shareI suggest you research Magdalene Sisters asylum and read the stories that didn’t make the movie. Cathicism is so ingrained in Ireland many will deny any wrong doing and go to their grave to protect the church. To this day the Catholic Church refuses to admit it did anything wrong with those women and will not open their record books on them
shareI blame the Irish. They just didn't have the guts to stand up to them - James Joyce summed up his fellow countrymen in 1905 as "a cursed priest-ridden.race." The much.maligned Unionist governments of Northern Ireland were far too soft on the Catholic Church.
