The homes in Northern Ireland were run by the Sisters of
Nazareth and the inquiry heard one witness describe the nuns as
“sadistic and bullies” Paedophile priest Brendan Smyth abused boys at two care homes run by nuns, an inquiry heard Monday.
The Historical Institutional Abuse Inquiry was told today that a
religious order accepts that the notorious cleric abused children in
their care. The inquiry’s barrister, Christine Smith QC, said witnesses have
alleged they were abused by Smyth in two care homes, Narareth House and
Nazareth Lodge, in south and east Belfast.
