Youth worker spared jail for 'helping gardaí investigate himself'

A Kildare youth worker who stole €40,000 from his employers over a six-year period has been spared jail because he "helped gardaí investigate himself".

After 56-year-old James Brady of Abbey Park View, Dublin Road, Clane, Co Kildare was caught, he repaid the full amount, despite the available evidence only supporting the theft of around €15,000.
