The Magdalene laundries and their ties with the convent orphans has been described very well by Benjamin Black in his Quirke novels set in 1950s Dublin eg "the Silver Swan". An adaptation was shown not long ago on BBC.

Dark deeds have been known for years all that is new is the location of the bodies.

There was a similar incident in Jersey the Rc church does not have a monopoly on evil.
