The recently uncovered story of child abuse that took place in Irish institutions during the 50s and 60s has rocked Ireland in recent years. Now the government has granted the victims a no-strings-attached 拢500m compensation package.
Some of this money will come to the thousands of survivors who fled to the UK to escape the horror of their childhood. But unlike in Ireland, their payments may be means tested and even leave them worse off than before.
Jenni hears the story of a survivor of institutional abuse in Ireland and is joined by Sally Mulready from the Camden Irish Centre, and solicitor, Peter Garsden to ask whether these women should be exempt from the usual rules on compensation for personal injury.
