Abuse victim who was allegedly turned away from garda station sues gardaí
A report by
Eoghan Dalton
A man alleges he named Bill Kenneally as his abuser to gardaí in 1985 – but gardaí declined to take a formal report.
The report has been described as a 'missed opportunity' to apprehend Kenneally decades before his eventual arrest.
It's formed part of an inquiry examining how State agencies handled claims of sexual abuse by the sports coach.
Kenneally, a former Fianna Fáil tallyman, is currently in prison for the abuse of 15 boys.

All Together Now to undertake 'full review' of disability access following criticism
A report by

Calls were made for a review of the festival’s accessibility after disabled people who bought tickets could not access the main arena.
Organisers are also facing questions over why they claimed to have partnered with the Irish Wheelchair Association for this year's event - the charity has denied any such involvement.
'I'm not looking to be chauffeured for the weekend but please don't make it that I'm struggling to get into the festival,' one attendee told reporter Eoghan Dalton.
The man has been offered a full refund having left Curraghmore without staying a night.
