Bank worker who stole €100k to fund gambling addiction spared jail term

A young bank worker who stole €100,000 from a Kildare branch of AIB has been spared a jail term.

Conor Egan (27) would take the money from AIB and walk across the road to Bank of Ireland where he lodged it into an account. He would then transfer it into various online bookmakers’ accounts and gamble it away.
