Top school’s finance director charged with stealing thousands

THE financial director of one of the country’s most exclusive private schools has been charged with stealing thousands of euro in funds from the elitist facility.

The Irish Examiner has learned that Denis Connolly, 52 St John’s, Park Avenue, Sandymount, Dublin, was arrested just before Christmas over allegations he was involved in the “misappropriation” of thousands of euro in private funds from St Michael’s College.

The 55-year-old senior member of the facility’s board of trustees had been involved with the school, located on Ailesbury Road, for a number of years.
