One witness repeatedly broke down yesterday as she described abuse she suffered at the Sisters of Nazareth home in Derry. A woman
waived her right to anonymity at Northern Ireland’s Historical
Institutional Abuse Inquiry yesterday to reveal allegations of beatings
and sex abuse at a home in Derry run by the Sisters of Nazareth.
Kate Walmsley, now in her
late 50s, further alleged that a nun identified to the inquiry
facilitated the abuse by one of the priests. She said when the girls at
Nazareth House residential care home queued for confession on a
Saturday, this nun would ensure she was at the end of the line.
