The Ombudsman has been criticised for its “bizarre” reasoning in
refusing to uphold appeals from former residents of An Grianán seeking
access to the Magdalene redress scheme. The decision, granted on June 2, came on the same day the Irish
Examiner revealed that evidence that An Grianán training centre and High
Park Magdalene Laundry were “one and the same thing” was uncovered by
the HSE in 2012.
Former residents of An Grianán, which was excluded fromthe McAleese inquiry, were denied access to thescheme as it was not considered a Magdalene laundry. It was on the same site as High Park Magdalene Laundry in Drumcondra, Dublin. It was included in the Residential Institutions Redress Board Scheme.
