NORTHERN IRELAND
Derry Journal
Six former residents of children’s homes run by the Sisters of Nazareth in Derry will next week give evidence to the biggest child abuse public inquiry ever held in the UK.
The six witnesses were resident in either St Joseph’s Boys’ Home, Termonbacca, or Nazareth House Children’s Home, at Bishop Street.
They are scheduled to give oral testimony to the Historical Institutional Abuse Inquiry on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
It’s understood members and former members of the Sisters of Nazareth, as well as other persons associated with the two homes in Derry, will also take the witness stand in the coming weeks. Other former residents are also scheduled to give evidence.
The Historical Institutional Abuse Inquiry (HIA) is examining allegations of child abuse in children’s homes and other residential institutions in Northern Ireland from 1922 to 1995.
