The Commission of Investigation into the handling of the Bill Kenneally case is due to sit for the final day today.
Yesterday, those in attendance heard the now 73-year-old give evidence regarding his interactions with Gardaí, family, and members of the clergy.
Kenneally, aged in his early 70s and formerly of Summerville Avenue, Waterford city, is serving a prison term after pleading guilty to 10 sample counts of indecently assaulting 10 boys at various locations in Waterford in the 1980s.
Many survivors of Kenneally's abuse were in attendance in Dublin yesterday, and have returned today for the final day of the hearing.
Impact of the hearing
Simon O'Toole and Barry Murphy came on air with Damien Tiernan to speak about the Commission of Investigation and how it felt to see Kenneally yesterday after so many years.
Reflecting on the past few years, and indeed the past few days, Simon said: "It's a sad fact that any of these people who are involved in this inquiry, that nobody has come out and apologised."
Yesterday, Kenneally spoke at the stand and gave new, previously unheard evidence in relation to the number of people who knew what he was doing at the time.
Simon said: "We have to actually get this sick, sadistic paedophile out of prison to get his testimony, it's just an injustice, we are being victimised by these other people as well."
He added: "Anyone who had knowledge or any cover-up, they're just as guilty and they belong in the same cell as him."
His comments come as yesterday, Kenneally stated that between 1988 and 2012, he heard nothing from Gardaí, despite their having an admission of guilt from Kenneally in 1987.
The Commission of Investigation continues today.
