Cork man who stole €7k from employer jailed

A Cork gambler who was active in Gamblers Anonymous stole €6,900 from his employer and drove from Cork Airport to Dublin for a gambling spree where he blew all the money has been jailed for two years.

Judge Seán Ó Donnabháin said of Ian O’Sullivan: “He knows what the problem is. Everyone knows it is a frightful addiction and very hard to stop. But in this case there was a significant breach of trust and almost a recklessness about the consequences. The appropriate sentence is two years.”
