Kate Walmsley has waited 40 years for someone to listen to her story of
being abused so badly at a Catholic-run children’s home that she has
tried to kill herself repeatedly. Now she will finally get her chance as
Northern Ireland begins the largest public inquiry into abuse at
residential institutions ever undertaken in Britain.
“I thought I would take it to my grave,” Ms. Walmsley, 57, said Monday as she arrived at a former courthouse in Banbridge, south of Belfast, for the start of the public hearings. “If I can help one little boy or one little girl, it will be worth it.”
