NORTHERN IRELAND

The Historical Institutional Abuse Inquiry has been told children were taunted by some nuns and treated “like slaves” at a Belfast children’s home.
The claim was made by an Irish emigrant, now aged 69, who gave evidence to the inquiry via video-link from Australia.
The inquiry is examining abuse claims at Nazareth House and Nazareth Lodge.
The homes were run by the Sisters of Nazareth, who have made an apology to all in their care.
The pensioner, who broke down and cried during part of his testimony, said children at Nazareth Lodge were called “sons of whores”.
