John Corr pleaded guilty to seven dishonestly inducing reimbursement counts at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court, reported on 20 April 2021.

The duplicate claims involved five pharmacies in Dublin and Louth, with €3,988.79 obtained by deception alleged.

Full restitution was made, while Corr lost his HSE community pharmacy contract and subsequently closed his business.

Judge Martin Nolan intended to order 240 hours of community service instead of two-and-a-half years' imprisonment, subject to assessment.

The matter was adjourned to 23 June for the Probation Service to assess his suitability.
