NORTHERN IRELAND

A former Army captain has described the Historical Institutional Abuse (HIA) inquiry findings on the former Kincora Boys’ Home as “a mess”.
The HIA report into child abuse at churches, charities and state institutions was published last month.
It detailed widespread mistreatment of young residents between 1922 and 1995.
However, former Army officer Colin Wallace has criticised its conclusions on Kincora, claiming they were “full of alternative facts”.
Mr Wallace, who served in Northern Ireland between 1971 and 1974, has been a leading voice in claims about an alleged cover-up by intelligence services of sex abuse at the home.
