Bishop: Inquiry findings should be implemented

A Catholic bishop has said the recommendations of Northern Ireland’s child abuse inquiry should be implemented with goodwill.

Noel Treanor hoped the report will help others who have been abused to find the strength and courage to come forward and report it to the authorities.

The independent probe recommended compensation of up to £100,000 (€115,000), funded by the state and voluntary institutions responsible for the residential homes where the harm occurred, with payments beginning later this year.
