Plans are at an early stage to give the freedom of Waterford City to the victims of paedophile Bill Kenneally.

Sources in Waterford City and County Council confirmed to the Irish Examiner that no formal decision has yet been taken to grant the honour to Kenneally’s victims but that it is likely that such a ceremony will take place before the end of the year.
