NORTHERN IRELAND

The Historical Institutional Abuse Inquiry (HIA) has said it is entirely neutral and independent.
It was responding to claims by a high profile former army officer, Colin Wallace, who has criticised remarks made about him at the inquiry.
He has been a leading voice in claims about an alleged cover-up by intelligence services of sex abuse at the former Kincora Boys’ Home.
The inquiry is examining allegations about the former home in east Belfast.
Mr Wallace, who served in Northern Ireland between 1971 and 1974, has declined to assist the inquiry.
