And what he did was he actually contacted Bill Keneally's uncle, the TD.

He was actually the chairperson of the Fianna Fáil party at the time.

Contacted him.

That's Billy Keneally.

Billy Keneally Senior, yeah.

And said to him, there's been a complaint made about your nephew.

And can you arrange for him to come in to see us in the garrison station?

Now, I just don't, you know, and I said it in the inquiry.

I mean, if I, if back then or any time, if, I mean, if I, if I attacked a child or something, like I couldn't fathom why they would go ringing my uncle John to ask him to be like, you know, so before it even started, that investigation, you know, there was no,

it wasn't being done right and look he's a very very experienced he's a super you know he was acting as well which is important to note he was acting chief superintendent he didn't have the job yet and at the time and this is the reality of it like back in those days for you to be appointed as a chief superintendent at that high level it is a political appointment you know and that's been noted in the inquiry but Bill Keneally was brought in

I think about six weeks later.

I think it was about, yeah, it was about six weeks later.

Now, even in between that, I mean, I was still, I was being abused.

But when he was brought in, they brought him up to the boardroom of the Garda station.

Okay.

And this is where, you know, Sean Cashman and the judge was very critical as well.

Bill Keneally, in his evidence,

made the admissions to the guards.

Now, not only made the admissions that he was sexually abusing young boys in Waterford City, he actually provided them with a list of seven boys who he was actually sexually abusing at the time.

Now, my name was one of those boys on that list.
