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.
Retired senior judge Sir Anthony Hart will lead the public hearings into historical allegations of sexual abuse across a number of state and Church schools and homes for children across Northern Ireland.
Sir Anthony Hart's probe was ordered by Northern Ireland's executive after the problem was found to be "endemic" across similar institutions across the border in the south of Ireland.
The expert panel will investigate whether sexual, emotional or physical harm was inflicted upon children and if there were systemic failings by institutions or the state in their duties towards children in their care between 1922 and 1995.
