Forger put off solicitors’ roll ‘for good of profession’

A Kerry solicitor who served a prison term for forging health insurance claim forms has been struck off the roll of solicitors.

Patrick Enright, aged 54, of Glenlarehan, Castleisland, Co Kerry, was being struck off, not as a punitive measure, but to maintain the reputation of the profession, High Court president Mr Justice Peter Kelly said.

Mr Enright, a married father, committed the offences between 1988 and 1994 when he worked as an assistant manager for US-based health insurance Nylerin.
