        @BBCBreaking small change to the Vatican, having seen the movie, they could double that figure. #Magdalene Laundries

        @BBCBreaking - The Catholic Church should be paying compensation, not the Irish taxpayers.

        @BBCBreaking compare this to what the #British government paid the #Mau Mau victims of their vicious maltreatment. Double standards?
