The Sisters of Nazareth have accepted that there was a “grave injustice” done to some 130 children who were sent to Australia from care homes in Northern Ireland as part of a child migration programme that mainly ran from the late 1920s to the mid 1950s.
Sister Brenda McCall,
representing the Sisters of Nazareth, acknowledged the suffering caused
to the children who were sent to Australia as part of a scheme by the
Australian government to bring “white” children of “good stock” into the
country.
