Statements given to the RUC in the 1980s by former residents of the Kincora Boys’ Home have been mentioned at the Historical Institutional Abuse Inquiry in Banbridge.
The inquiry is now examining what happened at the home.
Some of the former residents indicated that some level of sexual abuse by members of staff was “almost a daily occurrence.”
There have been claims that a vice ring operated in the home.
‘Surprised’ by abuse claims
In their statements some of the other men said that when they were at the home, they had never seen any evidence of politicians, police officers, Justices of the Peace, civil servants and businessmen coming to abuse residents.
