1.5 year jail term for charity director who stole €1m
Stage: Sentence
Outcome: Judge Pauline Codd sentenced Walsh to four years' imprisonment, but suspended the final two and a half years of the sentence provided he keep the peace and be of good behaviour for a period of two and a half years upon release. She rejected an application by the defence to allow Walsh to only begin serving the sentence in the new year, making reference to the numerous delays in sentencing.
