Public hearings into allegations of historical child abuse in church and state-run homes in Northern Ireland have begun. The inquiry is the biggest into historical allegations of abuse to occur in the UK.
More than 300 witnesses from Northern Ireland, Australia, the Republic of Ireland and Great Britain are expected to give evidence during the public hearings into allegations of historical abuse that will begin later today.
The inquiry will begin with a focus on two homes run by the Sister of Nazareth nuns in Derry, St Joseph's at Termonbacca and Nazareth House on Bishop Street.
Most of those giving evidence will do so in person, though some may only submit a written statement.
