A freelance travel agent who stole nearly €29,000 from 31 holidaymakers has received a fully suspended prison sentence.
Lawyers for Kelli Kilpatrick, 34, told Judge Martin Nolan at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court that in 2017 Kilpatrick began offering to arrange discounted holidays in order to make friends.
The Dublin woman used her experience working in the corporate travel industry to get cut price package holidays and travel breaks.
