Today, the families of patients abused at Muckamore Abbey Hospital received the findings of the Public Inquiry they fought for years to secure.

For years, some of the most vulnerable people in our society were failed by a system that was meant to protect them. The Inquiry's report is a significant milestone, but for many families, it must also mark the beginning of real accountability and lasting change.
