Tears as Irish President apologizes to Church child abuse victims

'For so long your suffering seemed to make strangers of you in your own land'

He said he had seen dozens of old and frail faces light up as the President spoke to them.

As children, they had been tried for offences they did not commit before being thrown into institutions, he said.

“Half of them emigrated and we brought many of these people back here today.

“Before they die, they have heard the President saying ‘We were wrong.'"
