Last month in a Waterford courtroom, the past finally caught up with Catherine O’Brien.

The Buttevant woman, who’s been the subject of Irish Examiner investigations for a number of years, including the podcast series Catherine the Fake, was sentenced to 25 months in prison for fraud. 

But this is not the end of this story – as Ann Murphy reports, a judgment against O’Brien ordering her to repay €300,000 to the estate of a woman, now dead, who had loaned her the money on the basis of their friendship is now back in the frame.  

Ann Murphy is the guest on the podcast today.
