Kenneally Fallout and Victims' Honor

Brendan Kenneally, cousin of convicted child abuser Bill Kenneally and former Fianna Fáil TD, has quit the party after a damning report accused him of failing to act when he first learned of his cousin’s abuse in 2001 — including not demanding Bill step down from a basketball club or stop campaigning for the party. Party chief whip Mary Butler admitted her mistake in letting Brendan canvass for her in 2020 and apologized, confirming his exit by Tuesday evening. Bill Kenneally died in prison just days after victims were promised a state apology — and while he’s gone, victims may soon receive the freedom of Waterford City as a gesture of recognition for their suffering.
