County Armagh woman Niamh Farrell denies being the catfish who deceived at least 40 people, including multiple Ulster GAA players.The catfish used multiple aliases and profiles with stolen photos, including the names ‘Aoife Kennedy’ and ‘Cora O'Donovan’.While Ms Farrell insists she is not the GAA Catfish, an investigation carried out by her school claimed she admitted to her principal she is the person at the centre of The 2 Johnnies’ podcast series, which has reportedly been listened to more than a million times.Coláiste Éanna, the secondary school on Ballyroan Road, Rathfarnam, had launched a serious investigation into Ms Farrell, amid claims she had disrupted the school and brought it into disrepute by dragging it into the podcasting scandal.But this disciplinary process was halted this week, after Ms Farrell was granted an interim injunction against Coláiste Éanna.Today on The Indo Daily, Ciarán Dunbar is joined by Irish Independent Special Correspondent Ellen Coyne, to discuss the dispute, and the school at the centre of the controversy.
