Personal assistant jailed for stealing €1.1m from her employers over 14 years

A personal assistant who stole more than €1m from her employers over a 14-year period has been jailed for four years.

Siobhan Maguire (aged 47) stole the money by fraudulently lodging her employers cheques to her personal bank account. Her lawyers told Dublin Circuit Criminal Court that she “dissipated” the money over the years paying her mortgage, going on holidays and supporting her children.
