Lawyer guilty of professional misconduct

A SOLICITOR whose practice was recently closed down by the Law Society has been found guilty of professional misconduct following a disciplinary hearing.

Ciaran Callan was yesterday censured and fined €2,500 by the Solicitor’s Disciplinary Tribunal, the independent statutory body which investigates complaints of misconduct against solicitors.

Callan, who formerly practised as Callan & Co Solicitor, Riverbank House, Dodder Park Drive in Rathfarnham, Co Dublin, was also ordered to pay the costs of the hearing.
