The scheme was devised by Earl Grey, Secretary of State for the Colonies, to relieve overcrowding in the Irish workhouses and to meet the demand for domestic labourers and single young women in the colonies. Under the scheme, a total of 4,114 Irish orphans arrived on 20 ships over a two-year period.
