laois solicitor suspended

[Brendan Burgess]

I was really struck by this comment when I first read it:

the committee considered Mr Comiskey’s responses to the allegations against him as being “a completely incoherent explanation of events”. He failed to turn up at three subsequent meetings.

I have dealt with a few incoherent people and it really is frustrating.

FKH thinks it unlikely that he was paying money to clients instead of discharging mortgages. I don't think that the Law Society would be suggesting this or getting a freezing order unless there was something seriously wrong.

It makes no sense? This whole case is very odd. From the sounds of it, there is no dishonesty involved - just disorganisation and incoherence. It's quite sad for the solicitor and it's going to be very sad for the purchasers who don't have valid title.
