Ex-garda says he 'would probably have known' if case was launched after Bill Kenneally admissions
Bill Kenneally, a former basketball coach, is currently serving a 19-year sentence for the indecent assault of 15 boys in Waterford between the years 1979 and 1990.
A retired Garda chief superintendent has admitted that had an investigation actually been carried out into admissions of child sexual abuse by convicted paedophile Bill Kenneally in the 1980s he “would probably have known about it”.
Michael McGarry told the commission of investigation into how cases of child sexual abuse perpetrated by Mr Kenneally in the 1970s and 1980s were handled by state bodies that he had served as the sergeant in charge at Waterford Garda Station between 1986 and 1989.
