A woman who was physically and sexually abused by nuns throughout her childhood in a Catholic-run orphanage has described the experience as "cruelty beyond belief".

"Irene Kelly" - author of Sins of a Mother - was abused at an orphanage in Dublin on various occasions in the 1960s, between the ages of six and 11. She says she is yet to receive an apology from the Catholic Church.
