DPP to decide on action over €200k debs debacle

GARDAÍ are confident they will be able to prosecute a self-styled events manager, who allegedly owes more than €200,000, following a debacle over organising school debs.

The Director of Public Prosecutions is shortly set to decide whether court proceedings will be initiated against Pat Browne.

Mr Browne, who previously lived in Upper Glanmire but has since moved to west Cork, is alleged to have taken deposits from students who booked him to organise their debs, but failed to pay hotels where the events were due to be held.
