Finance worker used forged documents to apply for bank loans
Summary
Neil Dolan, a 26‑year‑old finance worker, used Microsoft Paint to forge identity documents and applied for three bank loans between 30 June and 7 July 2017, using the alias "Neil Nolan." He sent altered copies of a PTSB account statement, passport, age card, revenue documents, a utility bill and a pay slip to KBC, Permanent TSB and KBC again. All applications were rejected because the banks could not verify his identity, and the Gardaí were alerted. Dolan admitted 14 counts of forging documents and 14 counts of using forged documents in the loan applications. He had a prior conviction for forging a death certificate and a 2013 fine for a similar offence. The case was sent to Dublin Circuit Criminal Court, where Judge Cormac Quinn ordered a probation report and adjourned sentencing to 31 July. Dolan expressed remorse, claimed he was under stress and strain, and had considered starting a business.
