Former HR company boss Denyse O'Brien granted bail after being charged with 98 fraud offences
She set up Watch Your Back Ireland in 2019 The former owner of a human resources company has appeared in court charged with a total of 98 separate fraud offences. Denyse O'Brien (41) was remanded in custody with consent to bail when she appeared before Dublin District Court yesterday. She was charged with 18 counts of deception, 47 counts of using a false instrument and 33 counts of forgery following an investigation by the Garda National Economic Crime Bureau (GNECB). Three addresses were given for Ms O'Brien, in Tralee and Ballybunion in Co Kerry, and a hostel in Galway. She was arrested in Galway on Tuesday before her court appearance, at which evidence of arrest, charge and caution was given by GNECB detective David Comerford. Denyse O'Brien News in 90 Seconds - August 14th Gardaí objected to bail, but Ms O'Brien was granted it on condition that she provides a cash lodgment to the court of €400, along with other conditions. These include that she sign on three times a week at a garda station, be contactable by phone at all times, surrender her passport and keep away from witnesses. The case was adjourned to next Wednesday at Dublin District Court and is expected to be eventually sent forward to the Circuit Court, which has wider sentencing powers. Ms O'Brien set up HR company Watch Your Back Ireland in 2019, and many of the charges relate to her alleged activities with that firm. Some of the 98 charges she is facing include that under Section 26 of the Criminal Justice (Theft and Fraud Offences) Act 2001 she used a false email supposedly from an employee of the Workplace Relations Commission in August 2020 'with the intention of inducing another person to accept it as genuine'. She is also accused of using false emails purporting to be from a number of different organisations, including the Office of the Press Ombudsman on December 7, 2022; the Labour Court on two dates in August 2023; and the National Vetting Bureau of An Garda Síochana on August 21, 2022. She is further charged that on three occasions in December, 2022, she used a false email supposedly from an employee of the Courts Service, as well as twice in June 2022 and once in May of that year. Ms O'Brien also faces multiple charges under Section 26 of the Criminal Justice Act including that she dishonestly by deception induced a named woman to transfer €700 to her company, Watch Your Back Ireland, between March 1, 2020, and November 20, 2022. Other alleged deception charges relate to the transfer of sums to her from separate named individuals of amounts including €3,737, €1,600, €935, €720, €420, €310, €305 and €210. Among the other charges are that she used a false headed letter from a named firm of solicitors on two occasions in September, 2022, and another solicitors' firm in June 2022. It is also alleged that she used a false separation agreement on three occasions, in April, 2022; August, 2021; and June, 2023. Ms O'Brien is also charged with using a false document purporting to be from employers' group Ibec 'to induce another person to accept it as genuine and by reason of so accepting the said instrument to do some act, to the prejudice of that person or any other person'.

Indian man to leave Ireland after being attacked by a group in Dublin over the weekend
AN INDIAN MAN who was attacked by a group of teenagers over the weekend has said he is planning on returning to India as a result of the incident. The man, who wishes not to be named, was attacked by three people on Sunday evening at around 5.30pm in Fairview Park. He told The Journal that he was walking home from the park when one of the group, while riding an electric scooter, kicked him in the stomach. He said that as he tried to walk away, two others joined in the attack and started hitting him. He then fell to the ground and they continued to kick and punch him. He added that one of the group took his metal water bottle and hit him above the eye, causing a deep cut and heavy bleeding. Image of the cut after the assault He told The Journal that some other people were around but did not attempt to help him. However, two male teenagers later did help and called the gardaí.

The spokesperson added that anyone with information is asked to contact Clontarf Garda Station on (01) 6664800, the Garda Confidential Line at 1800 666 111, or any Garda station. 'Despicable' attacks The attack comes as President Michael D Higgins condemned the recent attacks on members of the Indian community. President Higgins described the attacks as 'despicable' and he expressed a 'deep sense of gratitude' to the Indian community for all they have added to Ireland. 'Their presence, their work, their culture, have been a source of enrichment and generosity to our shared life,' said President Higgins. 'We are all mindful of the immense contribution this community has made, and continues to make, to so many aspects of Irish life, in medicine, nursing, the caring professions, in cultural life, in business and enterprise, to cite just some.' He added that the recent attacks 'diminish all of us and obscure the immeasurable benefits the people of India have brought to the life of this country'. President Higgins added that Ireland has 'long been shaped by migration, both outward and inward' and that those leaving Ireland 'often depended on the generosity of strangers'. He added that the recent attacks 'damage and corrode the most fundamental and enduring instincts of Irishness: those of hospitality, friendship, and care for others'. 'Scared to go outside' The man who was assaulted on Sunday told The Journal that many of his friends in the Indian community are now 'scared to go outside' and some are planning on going back to India as a result – he has already organised his own return in the coming days.
