A 大象传媒 investigation uncovers allegations of forced and illegal adoptions from a home for unmarried mothers run by nuns in Newry.

A 大象传媒 investigation has uncovered allegations of forced and illegal adoptions from a home for unmarried mothers run by Catholic nuns. The File on Four programme has spoken to birth mothers and children who were adopted out of Marianvale, a former mother and baby home in County Down, run by the Good Shepherd Sisters who have raised significant concerns about the legality of some adoptions.

Garda铆 are examining a note found in a car used in the suspected abduction of the missing student Jastine Valdez. A body found yesterday is believed to be that of the missing Filipino woman, though it's still not been formally identified. The 24-year-old went missing on Saturday evening and there are reports that she was seen being bundled into a car. A man garda铆 had been searching for in connection with the incident was shot dead by a garda in south Dublin on Sunday night.
