Public Affairs Correspondent with the Irish Independent, Amy Molloy, says it follows months of inquiries by Gardai:
'If a prosecution does proceed it will be under the criminal justice theft and fraud offences act.
Under this act fraud offences usually carry a max sentence of 5 years and that's on the higher end of the scale.
