PRESS RELEASE: New Law for forgotten Magdalenes - Grandson introduces ‘Mary’s Law’ – A Bill to Recognise Ireland's Institutional ‘Pre-Deceased’ Persons
On this date, 54 years ago, Mary Julia Breheny died within the infamous High Park Magdalene Laundry in Dublin having spent over 40 years in that Institution. Frank Brehany (See Note 1), has today formally launched a bid to bring his draft Bill, also known as “Mary’s Law”, before members of the Oireachtas in the hope that he can secure support or sponsorship for this important initiative.
