We learn more about their rehabilitation services and the experiences of asylum seekers & refugees accessing these services in Ireland. We discuss how someone can be referred to Spirasi, what is meant by torture in the Irish context and reflect on our own experiences of torture in Ireland with the troubles in Northern Ireland and the treatment of young women in the Magdalene Laundries.
