Catriona Carey was once described by a business associate in a newspaper interview as “a shrewd woman”, “a fighter” and someone you wouldn’t like to go to battle with, “because when she sets her mind on something, she generally gets it”.

Nine years later, Carey is now facing the biggest battle of her life. Gardaí are ramping up their investigation into multiple allegations of fraud concerning her business Careysfort Asset Estates, receivers have been appointed to one of two properties she owns, her network of business contacts is washing its hands of her and she is due up in court next month over alleged driving offences.
