Child abuse inquiry: 'Does it take that much to say sorry?'
Survivors of child abuse in residential institutions in Northern Ireland have fought a long campaign for a public apology.
On Thursday, it was confirmed that Northern Ireland's first and deputy first ministers will make an official apology on 11 March.
It comes on the fifth anniversary of a public inquiry report which said there had been widespread abuse in children's homes.
The BBC's Ireland correspondent Chris Page has been hearing the often distressing stories of abuse survivors.
