Civil sevants fined for corruption

Three civil servants in the Land Registry office and a law agent have been ordered to carry out community service in addition to suspended prison terms and fines they received last February for corruption.

Liam Rainsford (aged 43), of Cremore Heights, Glasnevin, Michael Byrne (aged 51), Parkwood Road, Old Bawn and Alan Quinn (aged 48), of Broadmeadows, Swords, all accepted payment from Dooley’s Law Agents Limited, for speeding up the process by which the company received documents from the registry.
