Apologise to Irish women and their children who were repatriated to Ireland

Background

Reports describe how Irish women and their children faced forced repatriation to Ireland, forced institutionalisation and forced adoption, because they or their mothers became pregnant outside of wedlock. They had a legal right to stay and are yet to be properly recognised.

Additional details

Thousands of Irish women and their children born in Britain were repatriated under 'Pregnant From Ireland' schemes.
