The defendant, who worked at Alana Interiors, is accused of stealing in the region of £121,220 from the business.

Appearing via videolink from her solicitor’s office, Brady made no objection to the holding of a preliminary enquiry.

Prosecution submitted that based on the papers before the court there was a prima facie case to answer.

Defence solicitor Shane Donnelly made no contrary submissions.

District Judge Steven Keown said that he was satisfied there was a prima facie case to answer.

The defendant was released on her own bail of £500 to appear before Craigavon Crown Court on January 19 for arraignment.
