Episode Details

A damning report reveals how Bill Kenneally, a notorious basketball coach who sexually abused fifteen boys between 1979 and 1990, was let off the hook by authorities who knew as early as 1987. His own uncles and cousin—prominent politicians—were aware of the abuse for years, with the cousin resigning from Fianna Fáil after the report condemned his inaction. While the Taoiseach says the party isn’t implicated, the Minister for Mental Health apologized for any harm caused. Victims will receive a state apology next month, as the report underscores a culture of silence that allowed more abuse to occur.
