Clare man surrenders himself to UK authorities over alleged school fraud
Summary
A 34‑year‑old man from Clare, Raymond Kilmartin, voluntarily surrendered himself to British authorities after being sought on a European Arrest Warrant for allegedly defrauding a Bristol school of about £10,000 while employed as a finance officer in 2013. Kilmartin was arrested in Ennis on 31 October 2016, following a warrant issued by a Circuit judge at Bristol Crown Court on 25 July 2016. In the High Court, his counsel, Mr Conor McKenna BL, confirmed that Kilmartin consented to the surrender. The court noted the charge carries a maximum sentence of seven years' imprisonment. Justice Aileen Donnelly ordered that Kilmartin be handed over to the UK, where he will be taken to Cloverhill Prison and then transferred to the UK for prosecution. The case remains at the extradition stage, with no trial or conviction yet reported.
