The Magadelenes are happy with the apology…thats good enough for me.Its THEM that count…and not anonymous posters here…

The Taoiseach of this country apologised and that’s all that matters. It does not matter that it was enda Kenny but the Taoiseach

This isn’t a PR Stunt no press were inside the gallery taking pics it’s not allowed it was picked up on the Dáil Camera and it was snapshot.

No katrina a fool is a wrong description of you and rude, your entitled to your opinion but I have a feeling your one of the many in this country who kept jackie Healy Rae and mike Lowry and ahern and Cowan in power to rob and fool us and put us in so much shit it’s up to our necks. So when enda does make an effort how about taking it at face value and maybe stop been so bitter towards someone who is doing a impossible job .

Always the same people commenting with the same negative feedback… MOVE ON !

Credit must be given where/when credit is due. The right thing was done this evening, and it appeared to me to be genuine and heartfelt. It certainly corrected the wrong that was done with the non-apology the night the McAleese report was published. In fairness, the Taoiseach spoke from the heart, clearly his meetings with the victims made some impact on him as a person. Let the healing begin.

Nice touch

I dont care what anyone says one thing you call Enda Kenny after today is a decent hard working man .

When the economic dust has settled and this country staggers back into its feet, history may record that the greatest damage done by the disastrous Ahern/Cowen Government was how it undermined Irish Democracy itself. Fianna Fáil have poisoned the body politic in the eyes of the electorate. Seldom has it been so obvious as on here tonight. You can disagree with the politics of a man without despising him and assigning sinister motives to all that he does. That so many on here can actually believe that Enda Kenny is so politicised that he is devoid of compassion for victims who suffered so terribly at the hands of the state says something awful about where Ireland finds post Fianna Fáil. It’s a truly depressing legacy of Fianna Fails promotion of its most cynical of mantra’s: “Sure they’re all the same…” (May as well vote for us)….

Mary Lou told the women to “Work away”, probably a bad choice of words!

Fair Play Enda, a good leader and a decent man.

The cameras in the Dáil Chamber are there to record what happens in the chamber and should never record or even show what happens in the gallery. Trust me, words were said and some one got an ear full and it won’t happen again.

Agreed, Dillon. I watched Mr Kenny today and thought that he was sincere, but a nagging voice in my mind was saying that maybe this was something he knew he had to do, like it or not.
That’s the legacy of suspicion of motive successive governments with their empty election promises and their political game-playing have left us with. Unfortunately it’s not just Fianna Fail who have left this legacy.
However, these courageous ladies seem satisfied with the apology, so who are we to second-guess Mr Kenny’s sincerity?
As I’ve said before in the Journal, I often walked through the laundry in High Park not understanding what was going on in front of my eyes.

Meeting the women in the public gallery= publicity stunt …heartfelt apoliegy my foot, the only reason the goverment have said sorry to these women is because the whole country is up in arms .. Decent man!!! are ya’s having a laugh?
