5/5 As evidenced in the DHM Listening Exercise Report, the women were deeply moved by the President’s words and the respect he showed them (see: jfmresearch.com/wp-content/u...).

We extend our very best wishes to President Higgins as he embarks upon his retirement.

4/5 The President’s speech began and ended with an apology to the women, recognising that they had been ‘profoundly failed’ by State institutions, Governments, religious orders and society.

3/5 As part of the Dublin Honours Magdalenes event in 2018, President Higgins hosted a gathering of 230 Magdalene survivors with a garden party and Presidential address at Áras an Úachtaráin.

2/5 As a TD, President Higgins advised JFM to submit an application to the Irish Human Rights Commission, recognising that Magdalene Laundries abuses were a human rights issue. This advice would prove crucial to our efforts.

1/5 On the occasion of his final day in office, JFMR commends the contributions made by @president.ie Michael D. Higgins to the campaign for justice for women incarcerated in Ireland’s Magdalene Laundries. (Photos: Paul Sherwood)
