Struck Off

A high-profile Dublin solicitor has been found guilty of professional misconduct by the Irish Law Society. The body has now recommended that Greg O'Neill be struck off. During a tribunal hearing yesterday the three person panel concluded that Mr O'Neill 'was not a fit person to be solicitor.'

O'Neill had established a public profile for himself through campaigning on behalf of the families of victims killed in two horrendous events: the Dublin Monaghan bombings of 1974 and the Stardust fire disaster in 1981.

'The tribunal heard that Mr O'Neill now 'suffers from severe depression and has debts of about €500,000.'
