Bill Kenneally, a former basketball coach, is currently serving a 19-year sentence for the indecent assault of 15 boys between 1979 and 1990.

Convicted paedophile Bill Kenneally has said he had no contact with gardaí for 25 years after admitting to two Waterford gardaí that he had been abusing boys and restraining them with handcuffs.

Appearing on Tuesday at the commission of investigation into how his case was handled in the 1980s, 73-year-old Kenneally admitted that at least six boys were mentioned as having been abused by him at an interview with Superintendent Sean Cashman and Inspector PJ Hayes on December 30, 1987.
