A MOTHER accused of faking her own death and using bogus medical reports could not face court yesterday because she was in hospital.

Mum-of-one Amy McCauley, with an address at Connagh, Fethard-On-Sea, Co Wexford, was arrested in June and bailed.

The 33-year-old was due to return to Dublin District Court but when the case was called, Judge Patricia Cronin noted the accused was not present.

Detective Garda Des Rogers confirmed he had spoken to her and was granted a three-week adjournment.

McCauley faces seven charges and claims that she had registered her date of death as December 26, 2022, and had obtained death certificates in the Irish and English versions of her name.
