Victims of institutional abuse in Galway have been invited to come forward for support.
Sage Advocacy - the National Advocacy Service for Older People - has issued the invite for survivors to engage with its information and support services.
People who spent time in reformatory schools, Magdalene laundries or Mother and Baby homes, are being encouraged to reach out.
Those who come forward will meet 1-on-1 with a trained advocate and action outside meetings will only be taken with the consent of survivors.

Those interested in the service can email [email protected] or call 015367330.
