Reading time: 1 minute
A personal assistant who stole from her barrister bosses for over a decade has been jailed for four years, the Irish Independent reports.
Siobhán Maguire, 47, stole €1,187,616 from barristers Michael Delaney and Jeremy Maher over a 14-year period while working as their shared secretary and personal assistant.
Ms Maguire pleaded guilty in Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to 32 sample charges of theft and fraud related to the lodgement of 660 cheques in her bank account between 2001 and 2015.
Mr Delaney and Mr Maher have been partially reimbursed by banks, but around €325,000 of the funds are still missing.
Judge Patricia Ryan imposed four years’ imprisonment on each count to run concurrently.
