It’s been a while since we’ve had news of former solicitor, contempt holder, and man of much debt, (though not as much as Seanie or others) and he’s on the run, Michael Lynn. Michael and John Riordan own 5 properties in Leitrim whom KBC Bank Ireland wish to repossess. Yesterday in court counsel for Mr. [...]

International Arrest Warrants and Michael Lynn
March 16th, 2010 · No Comments · dodgy solicitors, Michael Lynn
“Can you tell me something, are there, have there been, any steps taken to have Mr Lynn charged? Whether an international arrest warrant has been served?? Out of the mouths of Judges comes a bit of disbelief and oh maybe common sense. Except that Mr. Justice Brian McGovern was asking the question of a lawyer [...]

Michael Lynn is nicked in Hungary
August 31st, 2009 · 2 Comments · dodgy solicitors, Michael Lynn
Yesterdays Irish Mail on Sunday and today’s Irish Times report that former solicitor Michael Lynn was arrested earlier this month in Budapest. The Hungarian Police wanted to extradite him but couldn’t as there are (still) no criminal charges against him. The only charges outstanding in Ireland are contempt of court. Lynn therefore had to be [...]

Tax Amnesty 2009 – what you didn’t know we had one?
March 20th, 2009 · 15 Comments · dodgy solicitors, Irish Politics, Michael Lynn
Did you know there was a tax amnesty last month? Country on it’s knees, social welfare being difficult to claim, cuts in public services, banks being bailed out… but if you owned land and had not paid stamp duty on it don’t worry – a deal was done and there’s been a unseemly rush to [...]

Ireland’s ‘Celtic Cub’ emerges from hibernation
February 15th, 2009 · No Comments · dodgy solicitors, Michael Lynn
In the midst of the country going belly up Michael Lynn must have been missing all the attention. €80 million going missing is only in the hapenny place in comparison to the €7bn bed and breakfast between Irish Life/Permanent and Anglo Irish Bank and Sean Fitzpatrick’s loans etc. Michael Lynn has given his first interview [...]

Michael Lynn is offended
October 15th, 2008 · 4 Comments · dodgy solicitors, Michael Lynn
by the press coverage of late about his indispostion to appear in court. (This is not to appear on any charge against himself you will remember, it’s to give evidence in proceedings between a former client, property developer Brian Cunningham, and building society, First Active. ) If he’s offended at the coverage given by Dearbhail [...]

Atishoo…

Michael Lynn has the flu it seems – not sure if it is evidence flu – you know like blue flu. However what caught my attention was Justice Frank Clarke’s request for a medical certificate. Would you trust any piece of paper put forward by a man who is missing suspected of having debts of [...]

Happy Birthday Michael Lynn!
October 7th, 2008 · No Comments · dodgy solicitors, Michael Lynn
Today is Michael Lynn’s Birthday! And it’s almost a year since the matters involving Michael came to public knowledge. (Check out Carol Coulter’s excellent report from last Saturday’s Irish Times on the matters of trust and economic downturn and the legal profession in Ireland.) Lynn was due to start giving evidence today but Judge Frank [...]
Free Tracks with this weekend’s Maman Poulet
August 1st, 2008 · 3 Comments · dodgy solicitors, Michael Lynn
I know you have probably heard it all before but I thought this weekend I’d give you the chance to play Michael Lynn’s whole album in one go! The widget below should keep the tracks safe for posterity (mores the pity say the musicologists) as I know many people come looking to hear them and [...]

Have you seen Thomas Byrne? Tell him to look at the ad in papers!
July 15th, 2008 · 1 Comment · dodgy solicitors, Michael Lynn
I thought I was going delirious from the sick bed today when I heard something about solicitors for IIB bank being told by a judge to put an ad in the Irish Times looking for former solicitor Thomas Byrne. Why don’t they all get in a bus and go to Skerries rather than relying on [...]
