Northern Ireland’s Institutional Abuse Inquiry has heard a Derry woman allege that as a ten-year-old in the care of the Nazareth Sisters, she had to change and wash the nappies of 20 younger children before she got her breakfast each day.
Patricia Browne, 55, and four of her 13 siblings spent two years in a Nazareth home before she returned to the care of her family.
Patricia and Caroline Browne gave their testimony to the inquiry in Banbridge, Co Down this morning.
From a family of 14 in Derry City, they and three of their siblings were taken into care at the Termonbaca Naazareth Home in Derry for a two-year period.
Both women claimed they were regularly physically and emotionally abused by a nun.
