A terrible state

'...The glaring fact, that this my country, by its careless consideration with regards to journalistic control had allowed to occur, the devastation and destruction of its beloved child: Child of Ireland, lover of Ireland, now victim of Ireland's indifference.' Kathryn Nelson had enjoyed successful careers as a teacher and then as an international advisor, relishing her life and work in the Bulgarian capital, Sofia.

Her world came crashing down around her when she was wrongly implicated in money laundering after the biggest bank robbery of the time, when robbers had walked out of the Northern Bank in Belfast with GBP26.5m in cash.

Kathryn's reputation was ripped to shreds in the Irish media, leaving her unable to work and barely able to live.

This is her story and how ultimately her never-say-die attitude took her to Court, suing those in the media who caused her so much pain, seeking justice and the clearing of her good name.
