GAA officer found not guilty of lottery fraud

A Waterford woman has been found not guilty of falsifying the result of a county GAA draw ticket at the direction of the Judge.

57-year-old Bridget Clancy of Sheskin, Stradbally, Co Waterford, and former treasurer of the county's Western GAA Board, had pleaded not guilty to charges of forging a Déise Development Draw ticket on November 16 1998, and thereby obtaining a cheque for £5,000 made payable to her husband Dick Clancy.
