Bank worker who stole €200k before trying to set branch on fire should have been jailed, DPP argues

Stage: Appeal

Plea: Guilty

Outcome: McCormack was sentenced to 240 hours of community service in lieu of four years in prison in respect of the arson charge and a sentence of four years in prison suspended for a period of six years in relation to one of the theft charges by Judge Keenan Johnson at Tullamore Circuit Court in October 2024. Lawyers for the DPP today argued that the custodial threshold had clearly been passed and the fully suspended sentence represented a substantial departure from the norm, encompassing no element of deterrence.
