OF the thousands of victims of Northern Ireland's troubles few have
been more badly let down than the children of murdered mother of ten Jean McConville.
At just six years-old Billy McConville and his twin brother Jim were the youngest of the family of orphans abandoned after their mother was abducted by the IRA in the mouth of Christmas 1972. When they were eventually taken into care they were sent to children's homes across Northern Ireland, including Nazareth Lodge and Nazareth House in Belfast and the De La Salle Boys' Home at Rubane House in Kircubbin.
