THE Kerry owner of a major New York construction company has been given a six-month jail term for his role in a multi-year payroll fraud that deprived union workers of legally required union benefits funds.
Dónal O’Sullivan’s sister, Helen (62), who administered payroll at Navillus (Sullivan spelt backwards) was given two years' probation, with a special condition that she provide 100 hours of community service. She was fined $5,000.
