AN English national was being held in Clonmel Garda station last night for questioning in relation to the passing of forged British £10 notes.

Gardai said the man had several hundred pounds worth of counterfeit notes in his possession and had tried to cash some of them in a local shop. The notes were said to bear a close resemblance to genuine notes, although a number of them had false serial numbers and some had no serial numbers at all.
