    The tax payer would be paying it back than.. I think community service full time for a year would be sufficient

    If anyone outright stole €25k from someone in the traditional sense, they'd be going to prison.

    Is this different? I think not.

    How do you fritter away 25k in 9 days in the places she mentioned.

    Well if the Tesco mentioned is the same price as my local Tesco you could do it in one shop. A bag of frozen chips in there is a fiver, I don't know how they get any custom aside from the offy.

    I agree, however if it was this young girl with that record the outcome would probably be no different.

    Exactly, women always get more lenient sentences (sometimes none at all) and when they are sent to jail, they just go to the "Dóchas Centre", which is a glorified hostel. Men get the short end of the stick in this country when it comes to justice.

    True.

    But didn't the bankers get away with doing the same thing.

    millions of times over.

    If you have feck all in life, and a bank mistake means you can actually live a decent life for a few days, then go for it.

    I come from a place where I didn't know where the next penny is coming from and I can understand her decision. I don't agree with it, but I understand it. We've had plenty of people in this country earning decent money and lining their pockets. Haughey's family own an island ffs.

    25k? 'Tis nothing.

    €7.2 BILLION and €8 MILLION

    25 K is actually nothing. You could make that in half a year if you tried.
