Waterford basketball club secretary not told about abuse allegations against Bill Kenneally

Bill Kenneally, a former basketball coach who was first convicted in 2016, is currently serving a 19-year sentence for the indecent assault of 15 boys in Waterford between the years 1979 and 1980.

The secretary of the Waterford basketball club with whom convicted paedophile Bill Kenneally formerly coached has said gardaí never contacted her expressing concerns about the offender.

Ruth Sheehan, who was secretary of the Waterford Vikings club at the time that Kenneally resigned from its committee in 2013, replied “never” when asked if any such concerns had been expressed.
