Ex-HSE worker questioned in fraud probe

A former HSE employee at the centre of a major Garda probe into alleged fraud at a Cork hospital was released without charge last night.

Gardaí said they will now prepare a file for the DPP in relation to the case.

The man, aged in his 40s, who worked at the former St Mary’s Orthopaedic hospital in Gurranabraher on the northside of Cork City, was arrested by detectives at an address on the southside of the city yesterday morning.
