Its illegal to adopt irish kids if you don't live permanaently in Ireland. There was probably some deliberate circumvention of this law. Roberts' wife is of Irish descent and still has close family members who live there. They may have done a deal where one of her family members actually adopted the kids, and then a private adoption was rammed through somewhere else (so the Irish authorities would not know about it) transferring the kids from her Irish relatives to them.

Its worse than nannygate, if true.

Shennanigans, the perfect word, since its one of the few Irish words in english.
