Neil Dolan admitted forged-document offences at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court, reported on 29 June 2018; sentencing was adjourned after a probation report was ordered.

Dolan admitted 14 counts of making a forged document and 14 counts of using a forged document while applying unsuccessfully for three loans between 30 June and 7 July 2017. The applications used altered identity and financial documents, and the banks rejected them after failing to establish the applicant’s identity. The court heard he had been working in the finance sector and that his defence cited stress, anxiety, personal difficulties, an early guilty plea and the absence of financial loss to the banks.
