Wicklow solicitor gets three years in €750k mortgage fraud case

A Wicklow solicitor who fraudulently borrowed nearly €1m in mortgage bridging loans in an "elaborate and sophisticated deception" has been jailed for three years.

Mother-of-two Mary Miley (aged 56), along with mortgage broker Noel Ryan (aged 67), used forged documents to take out loans as part of a plan to buy and develop residential property. All the money borrowed is now gone.
