Maria Smyth (48), of Claraghtlea, Millstreet, admitted writing herself 54 cheques totaling almost €28,000 while acting as juvenile secretary of a GAA club. She faced three counts of theft and one count of forgery. The matter was returned to Mallow District Court after an earlier adjournment to allow the Probation Service to prepare a report. A probation bond was imposed requiring compliance over the coming year. She will avoid a criminal conviction if she abides by the bond terms during that period. The charges arose from the diversion of club funds through cheques written to herself.
