Burglary case hears school's insurance has risen €10k due to theft and criminal damage claims

Insurers told a school that a €10,000 rise in insurance was due to claims from schools for thefts and criminal damage, a court has heard.

The statement by John Barry, the principal of St Michael’s secondary school in Finglas, Dublin, was made at the sentencing of a woman for breaking into that school in October 2016.
