Answer
Fiona Ryan took up the role of Commissioner for Survivors of Institutional Childhood Abuse (COSICA) on 14 December 2020.
COSICA is a statutory appointment and a fulfilment of one of the recommendations from the report by Sir Anthony Hart following the HIA Inquiry.
We were delighted to meet Fiona on her first day, to wish her well and to offer her our support as she begins what is an important and sensitive role in promoting the interests of all HIA victims and survivors.
