State Apology for Kenneally Abuse Scandal | Waterford News

The Taoiseach delivers a powerful, unreserved apology to victims of child abuser Bill Kenneally, acknowledging a catastrophic failure by Ireland’s police to protect children decades ago. Despite Kenneally’s crimes being known in the 80s, authorities ignored early reports — even as powerful figures, including a former TD and Monsignor, failed to act. Survivors, some present in the Dáil, bravely exposed the truth, and the Taoiseach honored their courage while mourning the irreparable harm done. With Kenneally now deceased after serving 19 years, this moment marks a solemn reckoning and a pledge to never let such abuse happen again.
