A former resident of children’s homes in Northern Ireland and the Republic has compared them to Nazi concentration camps or gulags
The 62-year-old Co Donegal native told Northern Ireland’s Historical Abuse Inquiry that he was sexually assaulted by a woman when he was aged five or six.
The man was a resident at St Joseph’s Home in Termonbacca in Derry, which was run by the Nazareth Order of nuns, at the time.
He told the inquiry he did not know whether the woman was a lay member of staff or a nun.
The man said he and his brother were later transferred to an Industrial School in Galway run by the Christian Brothers.
