Carmody colleague was struck off in US, court hears

Dr Bill Porter administered the PDT treatment to the late 15-year-old Conor O’Sullivan and the late 58-year-old John Sheridan of Kells, Co Kilkenny, in a building adjacent to the East Clinic, Killaloe, in 2001-2.

In a garda interview read out to the jury at Ennis Circuit Court, Det Sgt Oliver Nevin told retired doctor Thomas Cleary that Dr Porter had been struck off in the US for abandoning a patient. Dr Cleary said that it was his understanding that Dr Porter had been struck off in California because he had not paid alimony to his first wife and this wouldn’t be unusual in California.
