NORTHERN IRELAND
Irish Times
Six people have made allegations of physical and sexual abuse at a residential home for children run by Evangelical Anglican missionaries in Northern Ireland, a lawyer has told the North’s Historical Institutional Abuse Inquiry.
The home was run by the Society for the Irish Church Missions to the Roman Catholics, which was established to convert Catholics to Protestantism.
It ran Manor House Children’s Home, near Belfast in Lisburn, Co Down, from 1927 to 1984.
The organisation also had links to the Church of Ireland.
Two people have already given public evidence on the allegations during an earlier module of the inquiry concerning the transfer of child migrants to Australia.
