This is the first such conviction in Ireland
The prosecution followed complaints made to CORU, Ireland's multi-professional healthcare regulator.
An investigation by CORU found that the defendants had been working using the titles 'occupational therapist' and 'speech and language therapist' respectively however while they were registered in the UK, neither women were registered with CORU and they had not completed the statutory registration process.
In Court today Lisa O'Driscoll from Legenaghmore and Emma Power from Rochestown, who were directors of the Bright SPOTs clinic at South Ring Business Park, pleaded guilty to six counts relating to the misuse of professional titles and were convicted and fined by Judge Con O'Leary
