Abuse allegations at a children’s home run by Protestant missionaries will be investigated by the Historical Institutional Abuse inquiry this week.
Manor House children’s home in Lisburn, County Antrim, was run by the Irish Church Missions (ICM), an organisation with links to the Church of Ireland.
Manor House closed in 1984.
The Historical Institutional Abuse (HIA) inquiry is investigating child abuse in residential institutions in Northern Ireland from 1922 to 1995.
