A separated mother who stole €18,000 from her employer when she ran into financial difficulties after her marriage ended has been given a suspended sentence and ordered to perform 200 hours community service.

Jennifer Good (aged 39), of The Way, Huntersrun, Clonee, stamped blank betting dockets when she was alone in the store, later filling in winning details and collecting cash. She has since repaid all the money taken.
