belfasttelegraph.co.uk on September 23, 2011 reported that a high-profile doctor and his secretary have denied forging the will of an elderly woman who ran a pub in south Armagh. Dr James Cassidy and Niamh Hearty pleaded not guilty to altering the last testament of 81-year-old publican Catherine Haughey during a brief court appearance yesterday. They also denied making a false agreement with Ms Haughey to sell a property — understood to be Larkin’s pub in Forkhill, which she ran for many years — to a man named Francis Tiernan. Ms Haughey was found dead in the living quarters of her pub in December 2004.
