Women and children who may have suffered abuse in care homes are being sought as part of a new investigation.

The investigation centres on four ‘mother and baby homes’ in the Republic, including one in Donegal.

The homes are Stranorlar County Home in Donegal, St Kevin’s Institution in Dublin, Cork City County Home and Thomastown County Home in Kilkenny.

A Commission of Investigation has been set up to look at alleged abuse in the homes.

The commission want to hear from anyone who lived at the homes for any length of period.

They believe that there may be people living in Derry and other parts of Northern Ireland who may be affected.
