Letters to the Editor: My child was stolen and sold after I was ‘rescued’ from England in 1973

I am responding to the TV review (Irish Examiner, Monday August 26) of the documentary, 'Stolen', aired that night RTÉ.

To my great sadness, there was not a single reference made towards highlighting the human trafficking of young expectant mums, living in the UK and other countries, being shipped back to Ireland financed by the government of the time.
