Survivors of Protestant mother and baby homes will die before they get the compensation they deserve, a brave victim has claimed.

Derek Leinster, who was born in the Bethany in 1941, said he and others from such minority facilities have had no financial redress and that for many it is getting too late.

The Government launched a new commission of investigation into mother and baby homes earlier this year – more than 15 years after the first was established to seek redress for mostly Catholic survivors.

Judge Yvonne Murphy chairs the latest investigation and will issue a report in three years.
