NORTHERN IRELAND
BBC News
A former lay teacher at a Catholic boys’ home has told an inquiry that he had no knowledge of any physical or sexual abuse at the home.
The HIA inquiry was set up in 2013 to investigate child abuse in residential institutions in Northern Ireland over a 73-year period, up to 1995.
The retired teacher had a key role at Rubane House in the Ards peninsula before it closed in the mid 1980s.
He said it would be unlikely widespread abuse would have gone unnoticed.
