Survivors of the Magdalene laundries are being remembered this morning.

A rally is being held in Dublin to highlight the unfulfilled promises of the State redress scheme.

It has been four years since the then Taoiseach Enda Kenny made an emotional apology to the women affected.

Orla O'Connor, Director of the National Women's Council of Ireland who is speaking at the event later this morning said the government made promises but nothing has happened yet,.

"The government have promised there would be consultations with the survivors in terms of how they wanted to be remembered and memorialised and this has yet to happen," she said.

"So we are very much in the National Women's Council, standing with the survivors of the Magdalene laundries today to say that the government need to start this, they need to talk to the survivors and see how they want to be remembered."
