Victims say they and their families’ lives are on hold waiting for investigation into how sex abuse complaints were not acted upon
Victims of Ireland’s worst paedophile were told yesterday that an inquiry promised last year into claims the State covered up the horrific abuse, has been shelved.
They had hoped the probe would finally expose the organisations which knew – but did nothing about – the decades-long torture they suffered at the hands of depraved basketball coach Bill Kenneally.
But Justice Minister Charlie Flanagan yesterday said it can not proceed because of fresh allegations against the jailed pervert.
One brave victim, Jason Clancy, 47, told The Mirror last night that neither he nor fellow survivors were told about the decision and learned about it through the media.
