Cases
latest first- High court finds fraud and negligence in Dublin property transfer Fraud (property transfer); professional negligence · Co. Dublin
In 2003, Marie Gibson, a woman in her 80s, and her late husband John Gibson transferred their family home at Castletymon Green, Coolock, Dublin 5, to their daughter Pauline Gibson without receiving any money, a transaction handled by solicitor Kevin O'Gorman who acted for both parties. The fraud was not discovered until 2017 when John Gibson died, and O'Gorman was found to have conducted the transaction in a grossly negligent fashion while Pauline Gibson forged signatures on re-executed documents in 2009/10. Marie Gibson sued O'Gorman, Pauline Gibson, and a receiver appointed over the property, with Pauline Gibson not taking part in the proceedings. In December 2022, Mr Justice Cregan at the High Court found the transfer fraudulent, set it aside, and adjourned the matter to January for quantification of damages.

Robert Duffy, a Belfast native, was convicted in 1996 in Northern Ireland of the murder of John Gibson, who was shot dead in the driveway of his Belfast home in October 1993. Duffy was released on license in July 2000 under the Belfast Agreement. On March 10, 2007, Duffy attempted to murder Colin O'Neill by firing a shotgun into his face at point-blank range at the Emerald Bar in Dundalk, County Louth. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to life imprisonment in 2008. In July 2024, the High Court formally ordered Duffy's surrender to UK authorities after Northern Irish authorities alleged he breached the terms of his early release.

John Gibson, a 28-year-old father of two and convicted drug dealer, was shot dead by gunmen from a rival gang in a carpark at Citywest Shopping Centre, Dublin, on 18 September 2017 as part of a feud between two Clondalkin criminal gangs. Matthew Bell, a 25-year-old man from Cookstown, Dublin, drove the gunmen away from a burning getaway car using his mother's black Opel Corsa.
