Gardaí are investigating reports of a bogus collection for a children’s charity in Castleisland. Gardaí received a report of unauthorised money collecting on behalf of a charitable organisation in Castleisland last Friday at around midday. They attended the scene on Main Street and spoke to two men who co-operated fully. LauraLynn, the children’s hospice, has confirmed it’s aware of the alleged incident.
The children's charity says all verified and genuine fundraisers for LauraLynn will happily present ID when asked to do so; it encourages the public to ask for identification if they’re unsure. Jerry spoke to Aontú candidate Cáit Ní Riordáin, who is urging the public to be vigilant.
