David Hall: CCTV shows no theft in Bumbleance

A former director of a children’s charity has claimed CCTV footage he has given to gardaí will contradict a claim by the charity’s founder that a theft took place from its ambulance at last year’s National Ploughing Championships.

David Hall, who resigned from his role as director of the Saoirse Foundation last May, had written to the Garda Fraud Squad alleging to have CCTV footage from inside the ambulance which showed a theft did not occur.

Charity founder Liam Heffernan had claimed that the ambulance, known as the “Bumbleance”, was targeted and up to €800 worth of equipment was taken.
