Former solicitor jailed after giving undertakings to buy over €1 million of properties that were never purchased
Small, of Renville, Oranmore, Co Galway, entered guilty pleas at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to counts of deception and false accounting on dates between 2008 and 2009. He has no previous convictions.
Judge Martin Nolan said Small had represented to a lending institution that he would do something and did not. He said if Small had not given the undertaking, the money would not have been paid out. He noted some of the injured parties had been recompensed by the Law Society and others, for particular reasons, had not. He said it was a “complicated situation”.Judge Nolan said he accepted Small did not benefit to a great degree from these crimes but said he was the principal cause and the offences could not have occurred without his involvement.
