Former rugby international Brendan Mullin, who stole hundreds of thousands of euro from Bank of Ireland Private Bank when he was its managing director, has been jailed for three years.

Mullin (aged 61) was earlier this month found guilty of stealing just over €567,000 from the bank on dates between 2011 and 2013, after the jury returned guilty verdicts in 12 of the 14 charges against him following a Dublin Circuit Criminal Court trial.
