A solicitor who worked for Michael Lynn & Co Solicitors has told his multi-million-euro theft trial that “alarm bells rang” for her when she received two correspondences from two different firms representing two different banks in relation to the same properties.

Fiona McAleenan told Michael Lynn's multi-million-euro theft trial that in August 2007 she got a fax from a firm of solicitors, who were representing a bank, referring to a number of properties.
