• Convicted in absentia of forging prescriptions at Edenderry pharmacy Co. Offaly

  Lynn McCarthy, 39, a woman from Newbridge, Kildare, forged prescriptions from a Kildare-based GP and used them at Keane's Careplus Pharmacy in Edenderry between October 2025 and March 2026. The pharmacist became suspicious when early dispensing was requested for a monthly prescription and phoned the doctor, who confirmed no patient of that name existed. Gardaí visited the address on the prescriptions and found it did not exist, and McCarthy made full voluntary admissions when spoken to at her home. She was convicted in absentia at Tullamore District Court on 11 November 2026, and a bench warrant was issued for sentencing.
