Cathal Short: Ex-GAA footballer told to pay £100,000 compensation

A former GAA player, from Crossmaglen, who admitted converting almost £1.2m in criminal property on behalf of his company has been ordered to pay £100,000 compensation.

Cathal James Short, 48, of The Crescent, was due to stand trial along with his company C Short Ltd.

However, before the start of the trial Short pleaded guilty to the company converting criminal property.

It was agreed by all parties that the best way to dispose of the case was a civil penalty.

At Belfast Crown Court on Wednesday the judge said that in those circumstances he would make a compensation order against C Short Ltd in the sum of £100,000.

He also imposed a conditional discharge of two years.

At the request of defence counsel, the judge ordered that a charge of converting criminal property levelled against Short as an individual be “left on the books and not to be proceeded with without the leave of this court or the Court of Appeal”.
