Woman sacked after colleague stole Valium

A thief told a colleague at a Co Tipperary drugs manufacturer that he needed just two Valium for a pain in his head — but he ended up stealing 6,000.

That is according to former worker at Suir Pharma (Ireland) Ltd, Niamh Shelley, who has failed in her unfair dismissal action against the firm.

Ms Shelley was sacked by the pharma firm for her role in the theft, where Suir Pharma Ireland Ltd concluded that she colluded with the thief, “JX”, in the theft of the diazepam (Valium) drugs.
