Victims of institutional abuse in Northern Ireland have won High Court backing to seek compensation.

They've been granted leave to seek a judicial review of the alleged failures, to implement the recommendations of the Historical Institutional Abuse inquiry.

It said there should be a public apology to victims and compensation ranging from 7 and a half thousand to 100 thousand pounds each.

Proceedings have now been issued against the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland and the Executive Office.

Gary was a resident at the historic Kinkora Boys home.
