Cases
latest first- State apology offered over Waterford indecent assault Indecent assault · Co. Waterford
Bill Kenneally, a man in his early 70s formerly of Summerville Avenue, Waterford, pleaded guilty to indecently assaulting five boys aged 13 to 15 at various locations in Waterford between December 1979 and March 1990. He entered his guilty pleas on the sixth day of a trial at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court in May 2023 and was sentenced to four and a half years to run consecutive to his existing 14-year and two-month sentence. A Commission of Investigation chaired by Judge Michael White found a serious dereliction of duty by senior Garda officers in 1987. The Government has since offered a State apology to the victims.
