keoghs – Northern Ireland apologises: The Historical Institutional Abuse Inquiry

Friday 11 March 2022 will now be marked in Northern Irish history as the day that an official apology was finally delivered from Stormont (the Northern Ireland Executive) to victims and survivors of historical institutional abuse in Northern Ireland. The apology was recommended by the Historical Institutional Abuse (“HIA”) Inquiry when it was published in 2017, which at the time was the UK’s biggest child abuse public inquiry.
