Heather Perrin Given Two-Years Over False Accounting
A former district court judge has been jailed for two years for false accounting involving inheritance money.
61-year-old Heather Perrin, who is already serving two-and-a-half years in jail for dishonesty involving another client, will not however serve any additional time in prison.
Dublin Circuit Criminal Court was told the Garda Bureau of Fraud Investigation investigated Perrin after a shortfall was discovered in a client account.
It was discovered that Perrin had wrongly deducted fees for unrelated work from the child's money.
A number of discrepancies were uncovered in the accounts relating to the child's €150,000 inheritance, but the eventual shortfall was just over €2,000.
It was also discovered that Perrin had not put the money into a high interest account as the client had asked.
The client had also been told that the money could not be accessed without court permission when no such order was in place.
Perrin pleaded guilty to one charge of false accounting weeks before she was due to go on trial.
