Institutional abuse campaigners say they have been “reassured” by the First Minister Peter Robinson that money will be available for the Historical Institutional Abuse Inquiry (HIA).
It follows Mr Robinson’s warning that HIA funding was under threat due to a dispute over Stormont finances.
On Monday, campaigners met Mr Robinson at Stormont to raise their concerns.
The inquiry is examining allegations of abuse in NI care homes between 1922 and 1995.
Speaking on BBC Radio Ulster’s Evening Extra programme after the meeting, abuse campaigner Margaret McGuckian said she was happy with the outcome.
