The inquiry also held public hearings into two other matters,

• The practice of child migration, in the 1950s, where children were sent from Catholic, Protestant and local authority homes in Northern Ireland to homes in Australia.

• Fr Brendan Smyth, a member of the Norbertine Order, who was convicted of offences relating to children in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, and who was alleged to have abused children within a number of children's homes within Northern Ireland.

Seven organisations were regarded as "core participants" meaning they were expected to play a key role in assisting the inquiry.

It sought evidence and vast amounts of historical documents from:

• Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety

• Department of Justice

• Health and Social Care Board

• Sisters of Nazareth

• De La Salle

• Barnardo's
