AN Irish-born baby girl, held for nearly a month in a detention centre in Britain, is due back in Ireland today following a deal between the authorities here and in Scotland. Percieliz Ikolo has been staying with a member of the Scottish parliament since she and her mother Mercy were released on bail from the controversial detention centre at Dungavel outside Glasgow.

A MOTHER and her Irish-born child, who had been detained in Britain for more than two weeks, have been released on bail after a Scottish politician offered them a place to stay.

IRISH embassy officials in London have made contact with British authorities to inquire about the detention for more than two weeks of a one-year-old, Irish-born girl.

THE Irish-born baby girl being held in a detention centre in Britain will be sent with her mother to Africa unless authorities here intervene.

The Department of Foreign Affairs has confirmed it is in contact with authorities in Scotland, where it's claimed an Irish-born baby has been held for over a week at an asylum detention centre.
