At least one of those from the survivor's group resigned because: "They wanted to widen the inquiry, water it down"
That was its design, to widen the enquiry beyond the three Police regions.
Another reason given is that they were not allowed to discuss it with friends and family.
I shouldn't need to explain why this is a condition on the group.
If anyone feels the need for me to explain why that is a normal and natural condition, I'm happy to explain.
One of the group said,

The role of the survivors group is to assist the enquiry, not to seek redress for the abuse that they suffered.
These three had already decided what the conclusion of the enquiry ought to be:
"the racial and religious motivations behind our abuse"
