The Historical Institutional Abuse inquiry in Northern
Ireland has recommended children who were transported to Australia in
the 1940s and '50s be given compensation for the trauma they suffered.
The
inquiry found at least 138 children under 14 who were in state and
church care in Northern Ireland were wrongly transported to Australia —
often without their parents being told the truth about where they were
being sent to.http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-01-21/ireland-child-migrants-compensation/8199946
