Outcome: Photo: Collins) A national school principal who stole more than €44,000 from his school over a three-year period in an "appalling breach of trust" has been given a suspended three year sentence. Marcus Wynne (41) broke down in tears in Dublin Circuit Criminal Court today when Judge Martin Nolan ruled that although he had let his former school community down, he did not deserve a custodial sentence.
