    Bill Kenneally survivor Jason Clancy tells of horrific sexual abuse by basketball coach

    This week, Bill Kenneally, one of Ireland's worst ever child sexual predators, died at the Midlands Prison in Portlaoise. The 75-year-old was also a member of Waterford's most powerful political dynasties, a collection of Fianna Fáil TDs, senators, city councillors, and mayors who served for almost 60 years, right up until 2011. His influential connections didn't stop there. A late uncle, Monsignor John Shine, was a leading member of the Catholic Church in their home county. As far as we know, Kenneally began his horrific campaign of sexual abuse when he was just 17 years old, and despite victims reporting his vile crimes to the gardai as far back as 1985, it took until 2016 before he was finally jailed. For more than eight years, a commission of investigation examined how state authorities, the Catholic Church clergy, politicians, sporting organisations, and others dealt with the allegations of sexual abuse made by young boys against Kenneally. The commission, chaired by Michael White, heard over 5,000 pages of testimony, and last week they released their findings in a devastating report. It stated how there were missed opportunities and a clear and serious dereliction of duty by gardai, even by the standards of the late '80s. Last week, before Kenneally died, we spoke to sexual abuse survivor Jason Clancy, who, along with five of his childhood friends and fellow survivors, Kevin Keating, Gerry Mullane, Barry Murphy, Colin Power, and Paul Walsh, went public in their efforts to get to the full truth about Kenneally's heinous crimes and why it took so long to get him stopped. Please be warned, this podcast contains disturbing and frank details about sexual abuse. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    The life and crimes of ‘psychopath’ gunman Jason O’Driscoll

    When Anthony Bur­nett and Joseph Red­mond drove up the M1 in a stolen car in March 2012, they assumed they were in for an easy pay day by selling the Volkswagen to Jason O’Driscoll. But what they didn’t realise was that the prolific hitman had decided to kill them believing they had cheated him out of a drug deal worth just €1,500. By the time the friends were unwit­tingly driv­ing to their deaths in a remote forest on the border with Newry, O’Driscoll had built up a repu­ta­tion within the under­world as a reli­able gun-for-hire. So who was he and how did gardai link him to the brutal double murders? Nicola speaks to Robin Schiller about the life and crimes of O’Driscoll, one of gangland’s most prolific guns-for-hire.

    Donaldson Trial: ‘It is their word against his word’, defence tells jury

    A prosecution barrister has told a jury that the two complainants in the case against Jeffrey Donaldson had ‘No reason to lie’. But Jeffrey Donaldson’s barrister has told the jury to look at evidence ‘dispassionately’, and that “When all is said and done, it is their word against his word”. Rosemary Walsh KC, for the prosecution, told the jury in Newry Crown Court that Jeffrey Donaldson’s wife Eleanor “was aware her husband had a sexual interest in pre-pubescent girls”. The former DUP leader Jeffrey Donaldson is accused of rape and several counts of gross indecency and of indecent assault. The 63 year old has pleaded not guilty to the 18 alleged offences. Eleanor Donaldson, from Dublinhill Road, Dromore, Co Down, denies several charges of aiding and abetting her husband’s alleged offending.  Hosted on Acast.
