A “sneaky” thief who took advantage of a co-worker to steal his €2,000 tax rebate has been given a suspended sentence and a deadline to refund the money or face eight months in jail.
Convicted forger Patrick Quinn, aged 41, who has recently used the surname Masterson, pleaded guilty today to three thefts in 2018 at his former workplace, a south Dublin tool hire firm.
He was jailed for three months for other thefts from the same employer.
