‘Our debs organiser vanished with €8,000’

She and her debs organising committee from St Brogan’s College in Bandon, handed over €8,000 in cash to Mr Browne at a meeting in Bandon earlier this year as payment for organising their school’s graduation ball later this month.

Up to 120 students and partners were to attend the event at Silversprings Moran Hotel on August 28. They each paid €100 for tickets to cover the venue, security, decorations, food, a band and a DJ.
