O’Connor’s solicitor tightens security

CIAN O’CONNOR’S solicitor has tightened security at his Naas office following the extraordinary break-in at the headquarters of the Equestrian Federation of Ireland.

Andrew Coonan said he had asked gardaí "to keep an eye on the place" following the robbery at the EFI office in Goffs, Kill, Co Kildare in the early hours of yesterday morning.

It is understood important files linked to the Olympic showjumping champion, contained in a cabinet, were taken from the EFI's temporary offices in the raid.
