Reading time: 1 minute
A former Ennis solicitor has admitted stealing nearly €150,000 from clients over a five-year period in order to pay debts.
Michelle O’Keeffe, 55, pleaded guilty in Ennis District Court today to sample counts from 19 separate counts of theft, dated between January 2006 and December 2011.
Lawyers for Ms O’Keeffe told the court that she had stolen the money from clients involved in property deals because of her poor financial position, the Irish Examiner reports.
Judge Gerald Keys remanded Ms O’Keeffe on continuing bail until the sentencing hearing on 30 September.
