The man who tried to expose historical sex abuse at the notorious Kincora boys’ home in Belfast in the 1970s has criticised a major inquiry after it redacted part of his evidence.
Former Army captain and intelligence officer Colin Wallace, whose attempts to blow the whistle on the abuse of the young boys were thwarted by superiors, said the censored information undermines the Historical Institutional Abuse inquiry (HIA).
He refused to testify before it last year, because he said it did not have adequate powers to get answers. Instead, Mr Wallace submitted a 45-page document about Kincora.
However, two sections were redacted – blacked out – before the material was placed on the HIA website. The redacted information, published by Lobster Magazine, includes details about senior figures from public life.
