A new interpretive centre is planned on the site of an old Magdalene laundry, which operated until the 1990s, holding unmarried mothers for decades. Former Equality Minister Roderic O'Gorman emphasized the center’s significance for validating victims through education about their harsh lives. It will feature a museum and archive run by the National Archives, highlighting the experiences of those unjustly incarcerated. Additional plans may include social housing, situating the project as a crucial step in acknowledging past injustices. The announcement coincides with ongoing work at the Tuam mother and baby home site, further emphasizing the need for remembrance and reconciliation.
