Magdalene laundries survivors are calling on all Irish citizens to boycott mass and all church collections this weekend.
The call from the group 'Magdalene Survivors Together' comes in the wake of the announcement by the four religious orders which ran the workhouses that they won't contribute financially to the redress scheme for the women who lived there.
The government insists it can't force the orders to pay up meaning tax payers will have to.
The group says it wants all citizens to boycott mass and withhold donations to local churches this weekend to make it clear that the people are unhappy with the way the women are being treated.
