Victims of abuse speak out

Victims of abuse in Catholic-run institutions are calling for any compensation to cover Northern Ireland.

In the wake of last week's report into decades of child abuse in the Republic, eight religious orders have now said they'll review how they can make amends.

But the abuse didn't stop at the border. Brian and Deirdre O'Donoghue who are brother and sister, were in care homes in Belfast and Co. Down in the 1960s. For the first time they have spoken publicly about what they suffered. You may find what they say upsetting. The reporter is Chris Page.
