A Tipperary man who fraudulently leased a high-end car and obtained a €40,000 bank loan while attempting to live an “aspirational lifestyle” has been jailed for 18 months.

Dublin Circuit Criminal Court heard David Nevin (46), who has 20 previous convictions, used fake bank statements and payslips to obtain the loan and car in his attempts to “enjoy the high life”.
