The Sisters of Nazareth who ran two children’s homes in Derry, have again admitted and apologised for physical and sexual abuses suffered by residents there.
Sr Brenda McCall, speaking on behalf of the order, was asked if it was accepted by the order that in some cases the standard of care was not acceptable.
She admitted much of the testimony already heard by the inquiry into historical abuses at care homes was “shocking and harrowing”.
Certain behaviour by some nuns was “just not right,” she said.
Asked was the order guilty of physical abuse, Sr Brenda said: “Unfortunately yes, I would accept that. Yes.”
