Bride-to-be faces charge over dress claim fraud

A BRIDE-to-be who submitted a fraudulent claim to the liquidator of a bridal shop may face criminal prosecution.

Gerard Murphy, liquidator of The Wedding Dress Ltd, said one customer had claimed she was owed €3,000 when the correct figure was €1,235.

“I am considering referring the claim to the gardaí,” Mr Murphy said yesterday. Based in Midleton, Co Cork, Mr Murphy was appointed last month following the closure in March of the popular Cork city-based bridal shop.
