Cork Magdalene Laundry, Good Shepherd Convent (Cork, Ireland)
The Good Shepherd Convent, Magdalen Asylum first opened on the 29th July 1872 and operated as an orphanage and a Magdalen laundry until the late 1970s.
It has been estimated that around 30,000 women were admitted during the 150-year history of the Magdalen institutions. Most were incarcerated against their will at the request of family members or priests for reasons such as prostitution, being an unmarried mother, being developmentally challenged or abused. Even young girls who were considered too promiscuous and flirtatious were sometimes sent to the Magdalen Asylum.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF CORK HARBOUR
St. Peter’s Church, Cork, presents an exhibition to celebrate the Irish city’s long and extraordinary maritime heritage. Opening in Spring 2017, ‘A City by the Sea’ offers a whistle-stop tour of the eventful history of both the city and its harbour, providing an insight into its commercial and military past, as well as exploring the poignant legacy of the millions of emigrants who passed through the harbour.
The history is fascinating. Set amid the marshlands of the River Lee, Cork has been a maritime hub since records began. There were at least sixteen ringforts on Great Island alone, while cairns, barrow-graves and dolmens speckle the pasturelands either side of the harbour. The early Christian monastery that stood by the present-day site of St Fin Barre's Cathedral drew the wrath of Viking raiders in the 9th century. The city served as the capital of the Kingdom of Desmond from 1118 until Anglo-Norman marauders defeated the MacCarthys seven decades later. St. Peter’s Church was one of many buildings erected shortly after the city was incorporated as a Royal borough by the future King John.
Cork prospered in the medieval period as trade flourished with Bristol and the wine-ports of France. International politics repeatedly came to bear, most notably in 1499 when the Mayor of Cork was executed for supporting Perkin Warbeck’s rebellion against Henry VII, and again in 1518 when Archduke Ferdinand, the future Holy Roman Emperor, visited nearby Kinsale.
During the reign of Queen Elizabeth, the region was laid waste by English and Irish armies alike in a war that utterly destroyed the once indomitable Earl of Desmond. Meanwhile, a combination of pirate raids and an unsuccessful Spanish invasion led to the construction of new and sturdier fortifications around the harbour.
Following the collapse of Gaelic Ireland at the battle of Kinsale in 1601, the English constructed the star-shaped Elizabeth Fort just outside the city walls. Cork’s defences were gradually strengthened over the 17th century but many of its citizens were fated for a miserable death in 1690 when Williamite forces ran riot in the streets after a battle in which the Duke of Grafton, a son of King Charles II, was killed.
The flight of the Wild Geese saw many of Cork’s leading Catholic families up sticks for Europe where several of them became prominent wine merchants. Meanwhile, French and Dutch Protestant settlers reclaimed substantial parts of Cork’s waterways and established themselves as leading traders and textile manufacturers. With the inexorable rise of the British Empire, Cork took its place as the island’s Ox-Slaying Capital as more and more ships pulled into the harbour to load up with salted beef and butter for the long Atlantic journeys.
By the time of the American War of Independence, Cork was the primary logistical base for British ships bound for North America. The city retained this prominence through the Napoleonic Wars, during which many of the present-day forts and Martello towers were built, but by the 1840s the harbour was becoming much better known as a place of sorrow with upwards of three million emigrants leaving Ireland over the next century.
Cork continued to play a very active role in the 20th century, most notably as the base for the United States naval campaign against Germany in World War One and as home to what was once the largest tractor manufacturing plant in the world. Acclaimed globally as the European City of Culture in 2005, Cork continues to be as vibrant and energetic a city as it has ever been, with the River Lee pulsating through its heart, channelling its waters south to the harbour and out into the oceans beyond.

Cork 1918 - A Short Film by Turtle Bunbury
On show at St Peter's Cork, ‘Cork 1918’ offers an insight into an age when the Irish city and harbour of Cork played a pivotal role in winning the First World War for the Allied powers. The heavily fortified harbour had been a cornerstone of British defence in the Northern Atlantic for over 300 years. However, German U-boats had wrought mayhem on ships sailing in and out of the harbour since the start of the war. The torpedo attack on the Lusitania in 1915 killed 1200 people but it was by no means an isolated attack. In 1918, five cargo ships belonging to the City of Cork Steampacket Company were lost to torpedoes, along with nearly 100 men.
Shortly after the US declared war on Germany, a squadron of American naval destroyers arrived in Cork Harbour. By 1918, there were 7,000 American personnel in the neighbourhood, serving under the command of a British admiral. While loud voices bemoaned these American ‘vultures … preying upon the purity of our daughters,’ the US presence did much to help the war effort. Cork Harbour became a central assembly point for vessels sailing under the new Convoy System, by which merchant ships and troop ships sailed together, providing mutual protection against the enemy.
Meanwhile, thousands of men and women from Cork were serving on the battlefronts of Europe and the Middle East as the war with Germany and its allies slowly ground to a halt. Many of the 4000-plus Cork people who died in the war were killed during the Spring Offensive of 1918.
A misguided attempt by the British government to implement military conscription in Ireland led to a powerful alliance of nationalists, trade unions, suffragists and, most notably, the Roman Catholic clergy, who organised a pledge against conscription signed by nearly two million people. The dubious arrest of 150 leading Irish nationalists further played into Sinn Féin’s hand on the eve of a General Election in which the party won 73 of the 105 seats available, including all seven seats in Cork.
As the people of Cork simultaneously wrestled with the deadly Spanish Flu pandemic, Cork republicans like Terence MacSwiney and Michael Collins braced themselves for a war of independence in which Cork City was destined to burn but the fierce spirit of Irish liberty would ultimately triumph.
