Victims of historical institutional abuse victims in Northern Ireland were left “deeply hurt” by the cutting short of a Stormont committee evidence session earlier this week, MLAs have been told.

Fiona Ryan, the commissioner for Survivors of Institutional Abuse, returned to the Executive Office committee on Friday to take questions from MLAs.
