Charity treasurer accused of diverting €160k

The treasurer and accountant of a state-funded charity providing education and support for teenagers is to meet with other members of the charity over allegations he misappropriated up to €161,000 of its funds, the High Court heard.

Greg Walsh, of Walsh and Co Accountants, Walkinstown, Dublin, has diverted funds for his own use in his role as accountant Carline Learning Centre, Clondalkin, Dublin, the court heard on Wednesday.

Mr Justice Paul Gilligan granted permission to Carline to serve proceedings at short notice on Mr Walsh and returned the case to yesterday.
