Dishonest person could have stolen from Clayton, court told

The defence in the trial of Adam Clayton's former personal assistant claims a dishonest person could have accessed the U2 bassist's bank accounts without leaving a paper trail.

Carol Hawkins, of Lower Rathmines Road in Dublin, is accused of using 181 cheques to draw down and steal more than €2.8m from two of Adam Clayton's Bank of Ireland accounts between 2004 and 2008.
