– Stripped naked by a nun and beaten with a stick and given no supper
and humiliated.... I saw this... and just broke down... that is what the

ends of the bed as well... by my hand and feet... for no reason at

They told their stories to an interviewing team. In an introductory
note to the section, the team acknowledged their courage: “We were
deeply moved, inspired and humbled by our contact with you. Although we
spent only a few hours with you, meeting you and listening to your
stories was a moving and enriching experience for all of us. We felt
privileged and honoured that you trusted us with such intensely personal
and private experiences. . .”http://www.irishtimes.com/opinion/the-abused-in-their-own-words-1.769156
