NORTHERN IRELAND

Child abuse at Kincora boys home must be investigated by an independent inquiry set up by Westminster into VIP paedophile rings after the general election, Alliance and the DUP have said.
The calls follow revelations in the Belfast Telegraph and later on Channel 4 News by Richard Kerr, a former resident in the notorious east Belfast boys home, that he was trafficked to London to be abused by senior figures.
The current plan is to deal with allegations of sexual abuse at Kincora at Sir Anthony Hart’s inquiry into Historical Institutional Abuse in Banbridge.
But there are growing calls urging the claims to be dealt with by a more powerful inquiry into abuse in England and Wales headed by New Zealand High Court judge, Justice Lowell Goddard.
