Former Ireland hockey international Catriona Carey has been accused of dozens of counts of breaking company law for allegedly providing false information and financial returns. The financial and business adviser appeared before Judge Treasa Kelly at Dublin District Court on Tuesday following a Garda and Corporate Enforcement Authority investigation.
She faced 46 fresh charges under the Companies Act for offences allegedly occurring from 2019 to 2022. Ms Carey is accused of failing to provide information to the Companies Registration Office to keep records or notify of a change of address, or to file financial returns to the CRO.‘A danger to society’: Man jailed for 15 years for raping woman after climbing in bedroom windowGym owner who sexually assaulted woman, filmed others, can resume work on release The accused, from Kilkenny but with an address at Rochford Manor, Graigecullen, Co Carlow, met gardaí by arrangement in Dublin on Tuesday morning to be charged before she was brought to court. Det Gda Robert Collins, seconded to the CEA, told Judge Kelly the accused “made no reply” when charged. The judge noted the Director of Public Prosecutions has decided Ms Carey is to face trial on indictment. Det Gda Collins asked for the case to be adjourned until February 14th for mention when he would seek a further adjournment and would then have a better idea of how long it would take prosecutors to complete a book of evidence.Defence solicitor Colleen Gildernew asked that her client be excused from having to be present on the next date when a realistic time frame would be available. There was no objection to Ms Carey’s bail, which the judge set at €500, which does not have to be lodged and the case was adjourned until the date sought by Det Gda Collins.Judge Kelly told her she had to reside at her current address and notify of any change, supply her mobile number and remain contactable at all times, keep her phone charged, and give gardaí 21 days' notice if she intends to leave the jurisdiction. Ms Carey, who has yet to indicate a plea, did not address the court but nodded to confirm she understood the bail terms. There was no Garda objection to legal aid, which was granted after the defence solicitor presented the judge with a statement of her client’s means.In that case, Ms Carey and co-defendants Paddy Maher and John Steadmond are to be served with books of evidence following a probe by the Garda National Economic Crime Bureau.Mr Maher, of Glenmalure Gun Club, Co Wicklow, and Mr Steadmond, with an address at Rossminogue, Craanford, Gorey, Co Wexford are accused of acting unlawfully as a solicitor while not being qualified from July 2019 to February 2022. Mr Steadmond faces 17 other charges for offences over the same period, for deception where it is claimed he induced 21 people to pay a deposit having falsely represented that Careysfort Asset Estates was in a position to secure finance for distressed mortgage holders and that the deposit paid was refundable, with the intention of making a gain or causing a loss to another.Dunnes Stores substituted as defendant in case in place of Margaret HeffernanGovernment to contest ‘simplistic but false’ claims by Sinn Féin TD in ‘super junior’ challengeGym owner who sexually assaulted woman, filmed others, can resume work on releaseMarty Morrissey: ‘I’m an only child of an only-child dad and an only-child mum.
