Ireland: Waning faith

The derelict back wall of Gloucester Laundry, the last of Ireland’s infamous “Magdalene laundries” to go out of business, as seen from Railway Street. Dublin City council announced plans to demolished the building to make way for a budget hotel, a controversial decision for some survivors and campaigners who would rather see some or all of the Gloucester site to be turned into a permanent memorial to all the Magdalene women.
