Victims of clerical and institutional abuse are meeting with the head of the Catholic Church in Ireland in Armagh.

It is the first time that Cardinal Sean Brady has met the group.

Officials from the religious congregations which ran institutions at the centre of the claims of physical, sexual and psychological abuse and neglect are also in attendance.

The group Survivors and Victims of Institutional Abuse (SAVIA) want guarantees from the Primate that the Church will co-operate fully with the Northern Ireland Executive’s statutory inquiry.
