The Historical Institutional Abuse (HIA) inquiry has heard the Public Prosecution Service decided there was no case against a nun accused of physical abuse at a Belfast care home.
The nun cared for more than 100 children at Nazareth Lodge. Five made complaints.
One complainant described her as elderly and using a walking stick at the time.
The inquiry heard she was in her 30s and never used a stick.
The nun was giving evidence at the inquiry in Banbridge, County Down.
She also said she was told about a single incident linked to paedophile priest, Fr Brendan Smyth, at the home.
