Witness seeks apology for child migrants

A woman who was sent from a Catholic home in Northern Ireland to Australia in 1947 has told the Historical Institutional Abuse Inquiry there is a need for an apology for the child migration scheme. 
The woman, who was at Nazareth house in Londonderry when she was transported, told the inquiry that when she first arrived in the country she was told she was there to "fill the empty cradles of Australia".
