Ex-director of failed GP lobbying group fined for failing to keep records
Summary
Andrew Jordan, a 71‑year‑old former GP and director of the National Association of General Practitioners (NAGP), was fined €10,000 for failing to keep adequate accounting records for the NAGP, a lobbying group that went into liquidation in 2019. Jordan pleaded guilty to two counts of failing to keep proper accounts for a company that wound up and could not pay its debts, creating uncertainty about its assets and liabilities. The offence took place between January 2017 and December 2018. Jordan, who worked voluntarily for the NAGP and was not paid, had been due about €60,000 from the organisation to cover expenses he incurred by hiring a locum to cover his practice days. Judge Martin Nolan described Jordan as "derelict in his duties as secretary and director" but noted he did not profit from the offence and had no prior convictions. The judge ordered the fine to be paid within six months.
