Commission of Inquiry on Historical Abuse (Ireland)

The Commission of Inquiry on Historical Abuse in Ireland was established to investigate allegations of serious misconduct and mistreatment of vulnerable children in institutions such as orphanages, schools, and care facilities, primarily from the early 20th century to the late 1990s. Its aim is to uncover the truth, deliver justice for victims, and recommend measures to prevent future abuse. The inquiry involves examining historical records, listening to survivor testimonies, and providing a comprehensive account of systemic failures, helping society acknowledge past wrongs and promote accountability and healing.
