Book of solidarity for abuse victims to re-open

A book of solidarity for the victims of abuse in Ireland will re-open at the Mansion House in Dublin today.

Around 2,500 people signed the book yesterday after it was opened by Dublin's Lord Mayor Eibhlin Byrne.

It will remain open for the next week.

Meanwhile, a leading survivors' support group is warning of growing anger among thousands of child abuse victims since the publication of the report from the Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse.

The Alliance Victim Support Group in Armagh has been contacted by survivors in Ireland, north and south, and abroad, it said.
