THE former CEO of the Limerick-based charity Bóthar is seeking to have his legal expenses arising from civil proceedings brought against him by the charity covered by the free legal aid scheme.
Earlier this year Bóthar launched High Court proceedings against David Moloney, claiming that he misappropriated hundreds of thousands of the charity's monies for his own use.
The court also granted Bóthar orders order preventing the former CEO from reducing his assets below a value of €1.1m.
When the matter came before Mr Justice Senan Allen this Wednesday he was informed that lawyers who had previously represented Mr Moloney, who attended the hearing via video link, had come off record.
