Abuse victim who was allegedly turned away from garda station sues gardaí
A report by
Eoghan Dalton
A man alleges he named Bill Kenneally as his abuser to gardaí in 1985 – but gardaí declined to take a formal report.
The report has been described as a 'missed opportunity' to apprehend Kenneally decades before his eventual arrest.
It's formed part of an inquiry examining how State agencies handled claims of sexual abuse by the sports coach.
Kenneally, a former Fianna Fáil tallyman, is currently in prison for the abuse of 15 boys.
