Confusion surrounds father of Kenneally victim's attempt to 'clarify' evidence

The witness gave two separate versions of confronting senior gardaí, however he could not recall when the alleged meeting took place

Bill Kenneally, a former basketball coach, is currently serving a 19-year sentence for the indecent assault of 12 boys in Waterford between 1979 and 1990.

Confusion surrounds the witness testimony of the father of a victim of convicted child abuser Bill Kenneally, after he moved to “clarify” his own prior evidence about confronting gardaí in relation to the abuse.

Tom Murphy, whose son Barry revealed he had been abused by Kenneally in 2016, on Monday gave two separate versions of confronting senior gardaí to the commission of investigation that is probing how the case was handled. However, he could not recall when the alleged meeting took place.
