She said Byrne had created great hardship for the victims, in addition to significant disappointment associated with thinking they had secured accommodation and then discovering that was not the case. She said he had acted in a premeditated way.
The woman’s suspicions were raised when Byrne asked for the rent and deposit to be paid in cash to secure the property. She contacted the letting agency who Byrne claimed to be working for and they confirmed that no Stephen Cummings worked there and advised the woman to contact gardaí. He said on September 16th, 2020, on foot of the first woman’s complaint, gardaí arrived at the property to investigate and found one of the victims there. She said she was waiting for a letting agent to collect the keys for the house having paid €3,000 in rent and a deposit two days previously.
Byrne told gardaí his partner had recently lost her job because of Covid and he was on heavily reduced hours with work.Heartbreak
