Orphans from NI sent to Oz. MI5 blackmailed pedos?

The public inquiry is the largest held into such institutions like orphanages anywhere in the UK. Thirteen Catholic and state-run institutions are under scrutiny.
The inquiry will be told that the transport of children from institutions in Northern Ireland mainly to similar homes in western Australia was part of UK government policy at the time.

It's like some kind of pediatric penal colony with being committed of a crime.

Among the institutions under scrutiny is the state-run Kincora Boys Home in east Belfast. Hart has revealed that much of the state material on the home remains at the Home Office and cannot be disclosed to his inquiry. There have been persistent allegations that convicted paedophiles who ran the school were being blackmailed by British intelligence and Special Branch officers and recruited as informers in the early 1970s when the Troubles erupted.
There have been demands from MPs, Amnesty International and victims of sexual abuse at Kincora to include its history in a promised Westminster inquiry into establishment figures involved in paedophile rings in Britain.

They have an investigation in Oz.

Already Inquiry staff members have been to Australia and interviewed 66 participants.
Many will give their evidence by video link to public sessions of the Inquiry, beginning on Monday morning.
The Inquiry's Australian module is expected to run for three weeks.

The Sisters of Nazareth order of Catholic nuns in Northern Ireland was responsible for the removal of 111 child migrants aged as young as five before and after the second World War, some of whom faced grave sexual and physical violence after arrival.Mr McDaid said he was raped by an older boy at the Termonbacca boys home in Derry run by the Sisters and the paedophilia continued in Australia under the custody of the Brothers.

An individual gives his story in the times. This is the most shocking to myself.

There is international collusion between institutions and states.

I think it's interesting that the link between these religious institutions and the British state was being highlighted in this case.

I think it always struck me as odd it was not here in the ROI.

Awful.

The MI5 story is crazy. About the MI5 blackmailed pedophiles to become informers rather than taken action against them. If those rumors are proven true I don't know what the consequences would be. I am not doubting MI5 could sink so low but it's socking.

There was a project all right involving the forced migration of British and Northern Irish children in catholic church (and maybe other organisations?) run institutions to Australia - very brutal stuff. A really good TV mini-series re same is called The Leaving Of Liverpool.

Update on that story: Child-abuse survivor of Kincora residential home dies

Moreover, finally in 2018 the British state is starting to independently hold public hearings about abuses in their own children's homes. So much for the "this only happened in Catholic countries" line. Why has the state been so reticent about facing up to it?

I've just finished reading this harrowing article on the BBC website about one aspect of it:

The child abuse scandal of the British children sent abroad

For several decades, the UK sent children across the world to new lives in institutions where many were abused and used as forced labour. It's a scandal that is still having repercussions now.

.... It happened to thousands of British children in the decades immediately following World War Two, and they had little understanding of how it would shape their lives.

The astonishing scandal of the British child migrants will be the first subject for which the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse will hold full public hearings. It's first because the migrants are now nearing the end of their lives.
