Nuns at a children's home in Northern Ireland "operated in a medieval vacuum", a witness has told the Historical Abuse Inquiry. The pensioner was giving evidence via videolink from Perth in Australia. He said he was sexually and physically abused both at Nazareth House in Belfast and at Rubane House in County Down.
The man said that after he was transferred in 1956 to a boys' home in Australia, he was also abused there. The inquiry is currently examining alleged abuse at Rubane House, the De La Salle Catholic institution on the Ards peninsula.
