He told the Irish Sunday Mirror: “It didn’t deliver what it promised in terms of focusing on individual cases and identifying abusers.“But what it did in the end was hugely important. It outlined in stark, clear terms the scale, extent and depth of the depravity children were subjected to in those institutions.”
