Alleged fraudster Catherine O’Brien is believed to have left the State as she is sought for questioning in relation to fraud in the horse industry.
Gardaí believe the Buttevant woman, who has an address in Dungarvan, Co. Waterford, has gone abroad after spending a number of months in Northern Ireland. Sources in the horse industry have also indicated that she spent time north of the border last year.
