Ms O'Neill said while no apology will make up for the pain that survivors have endured, it is an acknowledgement of the harm they suffered. "We have heard that for some survivors the apology will mean much more than any other redress measure, so it must be fitting and I welcome that engagement will take place with those affected before it's delivered," she said. She said if the Executive had not collapsed shortly before the Hart report was published in January 2017, the apology could have been made much sooner. SDLP MLA Sinéad McLaughlin said the Executive should say sorry for the delay in making an apology. "Many today contacted me overwhelmed with emotion and gratitude as the apology will be the ultimate recognition that their bodies and minds being violated as children in 'care' was abhorrent abuse, (that) they are believed and it was not their fault," she said. Solicitor Claire McKeegan, who represents a majority of abuse survivors, said confirmation of the apology was "bittersweet for many as it has come too late and the cost of delay is that many of our clients did not live to see their redress payment or this apology". The report also recommended a memorial for victims, although no substantial work has been done on this since 2017. However, some have pointed out that the HIA report recommended a state apology more than five years ago. Victims and political representatives have welcomed confirmation of the apology. The Executive Office told The Irish News that independent facilitator Paul Sweeney, who has held meetings with the institutions, "has reported back to ministers, who have agreed that he should undertake further work as a basis for fair contributions towards the cost of redress". None of the institutions have so far made any financial contributions towards a compensation scheme for survivors, which was set up in March 2020.īarnardo's, the De La Salle Order, Sisters of Nazareth, Sisters of St Louis, the Good Shepherd Sisters and the Irish Church Missions are required to contribute to the scheme. The HIA inquiry, chaired by the late Sir Anthony Hart, exposed serious sexual, physical and emotional abuse over decades at children's homes run by religious orders, charities and the state. Statements will also be made by the institutions criticised by the Historical Institutional Abuse (HIA) report.
