Former Festival Chief Convicted Of Fraud
Former chairman of the World Bodhran Championships has been convicted of 27 fraud charges at Killorglin District Court.
47-year-old Daniel Cronin was sentenced to 10 months in prison for each of the offences, to run concurrently and order to not join or get involved in any voluntary organisation, in any capacity, until he turns 60.
However, the jail term was suspended and Judge James O'Connor bound Cronin, of Kilcolman, Co Kerry, to the peace for two years.
The charges relate to nine cheques for €12,000 from a chequebook that belonged to his former employer, William O'Shea, to offset debts incurred by the now defunct festival.
A previous court sitting heard Cronin had used the cheques to write off debts while he was at the festival's helm and he had not gained personally from the fraud.
Cronin was also sent forward to the next sitting of Tralee Circuit Court on 29 forgery charges and five counts of theft.
