Suspended Roscommon solicitor Declan O’Callaghan has been formally censured at the High Court on foot of an application made by the Law Society over an upheld finding of misconduct arising out of a 2006 Mayo land deal.

Last November, Mr O’Callaghan successfully appealed three allegations of misconduct relating to the same transaction but the court upheld one count of misconduct. A disciplinary tribunal had previously decided to strike Mr O’Callaghan off based on its findings.
