Law Society investigating additional allegation against Ballaghaderreen solicitor
Reading time: 1 minute
The Law Society of Ireland has been asked to investigate an additional allegation against Ballaghaderreen solicitor Declan O’Callaghan, The Irish Times reports.
Mr O’Callaghan has already been ordered not to practise as a solicitor pending the outcome of separate Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal proceedings.
The additional allegation was raised in a letter sent to the Law Society last month by Co Leitrim law firm Kevin P Kilrane & Co.
It expresses concern that €81,000 which Mr O’Callaghan was supposed to hold on behalf of a client may have wrongly withdrawn from the client account.
The Law Society has said it is “making inquiries of the solicitor concerned”.
Mr O’Callaghan is due to appear in the High Court on 8 October in relation to the separate proceedings.
