NORTHERN IRELAND

Nuns’ treatment of children at a residential care home was “bordering on the psychotic”, Northern Ireland’s Historical Abuse Inquiry has been told.
Sisters of Nazareth nuns thumped and kicked children at Termonbacca, the first witness to give evidence said.
The former resident described the home as a “hell-hole” and likened it to a concentration camp.
He said children were forced to clean floors in a chain, with their arms linked and rags under both feet.
The inquiry is investigating abuse claims against children’s residential institutions from 1922 to 1995.
