Law Society of Ireland (applicant)

Greg O’Neill (respondent solicitor)

On 19 September 2013, the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal found the respondent solicitor guilty of professional misconduct in that he failed to ensure that there was furnished to the Society an accountant’s report for the year ended 31 December 2010 within six months of that date, in breach of regulation 21(1) of the Solicitors’ Accounts Regulations 2001 (SI 421 of 2001).

The tribunal ordered that the matter go forward to the President of the High Court and, on 3 March 2014, the President of the High Court ordered that the solicitor’s name be struck from the Roll of Solicitors and that the respondent solicitor pay the costs of the Society’s proceedings before the disciplinary tribunal and the cost of the High Court proceedings, to be taxed in default of agreement.
