From The Indo.
Hopefully it comes out that he claimed barbers expenses off the company too.
FORMER Irish rugby international Shane Byrne wrongfully claimed some €1,006 expenses from his waste disposal firm when he was on a trip to Kilimanjaro, it is alleged.
It is also alleged that he used the company debit card for “lavish” personal expenses, including €1,060 to a restaurant in Kilkenny on September 21 last and €117.60 to a pub next door to that restaurant.
Today a High Court judge granted interim injunctions against Shane Byrne, and his brother William, arising from serious concerns about their conduct of the affairs of a waste disposal company of which they are directors and shareholders.
Cash jobs invoiced for emptying septic tanks, which should have been charged at €250, were allegedly only charged at one cent on the AWD Waste Solutions company invoices, leaving cash unaccounted for to the company.
It is also claimed both brothers are using AWD fuel cards for private driving by themselves and their wives and that both brothers unlawfully credited their golf club membership to the company.
The claims were made by Oxigen Environmental Unlimited Company, a 51 per cent shareholder in AWD, in its application for injunctions against the brothers.
Shane Byrne is a joint managing director of AWD, which employs 24 people and has registered offices at Harmony Row, Dublin 2, while William Byre is a director. AWD is involved in the waste disposal, septic tank, drain cleaning and skip business.
The orders, made ex parte (one side only represented), restrain the respondents removing AWD company files or papers from its operations office at Glanbia House, Inch, Co Wexford, and from disposing of, or attempting to dispose of any records of any work done within the past four years.
Ronnie Hudson, for Oxigen, told Ms Justice Leonie Reynolds it was “impossible at this stage” to even put an estimate on the amount of missing monies but there could be some €150,000 unaccounted for missing books of the company and perhaps a sum between €15,000 and €115,000 concerning missing bin tags.
This was all against the background of Shane Byrne climbing Kiliminjaro and holidaying to Bermuda, he said.
Ms Justice Reynolds said, having regard to the “very serious” issues raised in the affidavits, it seemed appropriate in all the circumstances to grant the injunctions sought pending further order. She returned the matter to next Tuesday.
In court documents, Oxigen said the respondents had asked Oxigen around 2012 to get involved in their businesses, which were operated under the entities Arklow waste Disposal Ltd, Arklow Pipe and Drain Ltd and Arklow Waste Management Ltd, because they were in financial difficulty.

Harmless attempts fiscal chicanery from Byrne. Cash jobs normally priced at €250 being ENTERED in the books at 1c. I mean who’d fall for that sort of bullshit?
The few thumps to the nut must have gotten to him eventually. The party’s over Shane, get over it.
There is a long list of rugby ex-hookers who have engaged in nefarious financial activity
In other rugby news I learned today that Fergus slattery can be considered a pallasgreenian. That boggled my mind.

Have you any evidence of x rated violence on the rugby field involving Slatts ?
Ironically enough today is World Egg Day.
The proponents of egg chasing certainly have egg on their face today.
I’m surprised the dolt hadn’t included hairdressing expenses.
Every four years, like clockwork…

There are some staunch anti-rubby Heineken drinkers on here who will be very disappointed to be targeted in that post.
You really need a new hobby, the start of the league can’t come soon enough for you.
Following hurlers around is nearly as weird as his obsession with Rugby
