Kenneally Resigns Amid Abuse Inquiry

Brendan Kenneally, a former Fianna Fáil TD, has resigned following a damning state inquiry into his cousin Bill Kenneally — a convicted child abuser who died in prison just before the report’s release. Though Brendan tried to get his cousin psychiatric help, the inquiry found his actions fell short of what a public figure should do. The report didn’t confirm he knew of the abuse before 2001, but the party’s silence and delayed response have drawn criticism. A state apology for survivors is expected soon, with the Justice Minister pledging it by July — a long-overdue acknowledgment for victims who’ve waited years for justice.
