A former resident at St Joseph’s Catholic children’s home, Termonbacca, has told the Historical Abuse Inquiry that he is partially deaf because of the beatings he received there.
He said one nun targeted him for 10 years, hitting him about the head with a brush, a mop or a tree branch.
The 53-year-old told the inquiry sitting in Banbridge that one nun lost her temper and he was her scapegoat.
In a statement, the nun said she had not beaten him with a stick or a strap.
She said she was surprised that he had made such allegations.
