A former Bank of Ireland employee who stole almost €200,000 from a midlands branch and its customers before attempting to set the building on fire showed a “total disregard” for public safety and should not have received a fully suspended sentence, the Director of Public Prosecutions has argued.

Maureen McCormack (53) maintained that she stole the money to pay for debts incurred for IVF treatment.
