Criminal defence solicitor Cahir O’Higgins, one of the highest-earning legal aid lawyers in the State, has denied five charges of theft and perverting the court of justice.
The charges relate to the alleged theft of €400 from a defendant in July 2016 and the subsequent producing of documents to gardaí purporting to be notes made at the time, RTÉ reports.
A short hearing before Judge Colin Daly in Dublin District Court yesterday heard that Mr O’Higgins, who was arrested and charged at the beginning of April, denies the charges.
Mr O’Higgins, who was Ireland’s highest-earning criminal legal aid solicitor in 2016 and 2017, will be tried on indictment in Dublin Circuit Criminal Court.
