Will it never end? How much more abuse will come to light?

Will it end before all the victims die of old age?

"The inquiry is examining allegations of child abuse in children's homes and other residential institutions in Northern Ireland from 1922 to 1995.

It had been due to deliver its final report in January 2016 but has been granted more time due to its workload.

MLAs were told that Sir Anthony made a compelling case for the deadline extension, because of the number of witnesses who have come forward to testify and the amount of allegations he has to investigate.

However, some victims and survivors of institutional abuse have called for an interim report to be published and for compensation payments to begin before the conclusion of the inquiry.

Campaigners said that many victims of institutional abuse are elderly and some died before they were called to testify.
