Four men are due to appear in court to face 178 charges arising from a fraud investigation into the Kildare and Wicklow Education and Training Board.

The Garda National Economic Crime Bureau (GNECB) launched the investigation, codenamed Operation Lakefront, in 2018. It examined procurement concerns at the statutory body, which is based in the east of the country.
