A letting agent in South Dublin, Michael Carr, has been suspended for six months due to improper conduct. The suspension, effective February 3, 2025, follows an investigation by the Property Services Regulatory Authority (PSRA). Carr, who operates as New Ireland Lettings, faced allegations of failing to transfer rents and security deposits to clients, not returning property keys, and not responding to client communications. The PSRA found multiple instances of improper conduct, including unauthorized deductions from client funds. In addition to the suspension, Carr must pay €1,000 to the Property Services Compensation Fund and €3,000 to cover investigation costs. The High Court confirmed the suspension last month.
