A WOMAN IN her 20s who was arrested over allegations of deception against University College Dublin (UCD) has been released without charge.
The woman was arrested in Dublin city centre on Tuesday afternoon and was detained in a garda station on the southside of the city.
Gardaí had confirmed that the arrest was for alleged deception against a third-level institution.
It’s understood gardaí seized electronic devices as part of the investigation.
