A retired consultant psychiatrist has disputed claims that he assessed convicted child abuser Bill Kenneally in 2001 and concluded he was “unlikely to reoffend”.

Kenneally, a former sports coach and a member of a well-known Waterford Fianna Fáil family, is currently in jail for multiple child sex-abuse offences committed between 1979 and 1990.
