NORTHERN IRELAND
Belfast Telegraph
Institutional child abuse victims have marched at Stormont to demand justice from warring politicians who have failed to deliver a promised apology and financial redress.
The group handed in letters to party leaders at Stormont Castle asking for the recommendations of a four-year inquiry into state and church abuse to be addressed as a matter of urgency.
A number of party representatives, including Sinn Fein’s Michelle O’Neill, UUP leader Robin Swann and the Alliance Party’s Chris Lyttle took time out from political talks to personally accept the letters from the group.
Negotiations aimed at restoring Northern Ireland’s collapsed government continued on Monday at Stormont.
The Stormont impasse has meant that the findings and recommendations of the Historical Institutional Abuse Inquiry have still not been presented to the Northern Ireland assembly.
