  On 2 December 2023 a search in Edenderry, Offaly, found 720 counterfeit euro notes, with 699 in a black Nike bag in a boot, and the notes were held at Fr Paul Murphy Street. Lee Fennelly, a man from Edenderry aged 33 or 34 (reports differ), was charged with possessing the notes. He failed to appear in court to be served the book of evidence in November 2024, and Judge Andrew Cody ordered a bench warrant.
