UP to £150,000 compensation is being awarded to Glasgow residents who were victims of abuse in Ireland as children.
Scores of victims have already put forward claims and have been awarded between £40,000 and £150,000.
But organisers of a nationwide search believe there are thousands more "forgotten victims" living in Glasgow who are entitled to pay-outs.
All victims were subject to child abuse at 250 children's homes, industrial schools, reformatories or institutions run by religious groups in Ireland between the 1920s and 1970s.
