The present report describes a research project which was commissioned by the
Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse (hereafter referred to as CICA).
In 2005 and 2006 247 adult survivors of institutional abuse in industrial and reformatory
schools recruited through CICA were interviewed. Other witnesses to the Commission who
reported institutional abuse in other institutions and out-of-home care settings were not
included in this study. There were approximately equal numbers of men and women who
were about 60 years of age, and who had entered institutions run by nuns or religious
brothers due to family adversity or petty criminality
