A COUNTY Donegal man has admitted stealing almost €12,000 from one of the country’s most famous food companies.
David Scott appeared at Letterkenny Circuit Court and pleaded guilty to two counts on the indictment against him.
The 44-year-old from Ash Meadows, Stranorlar, pleaded guilty to stealing €1,170.18c on May 9, 2013 and a further charge of stealing another €836.54c from Carroll Cuisine Limited, Tullamore, Co Offaly.
The company is one of the country’s best know producers of ham.
Patricia McLaughlin, prosecuting for the Director of Public Prosecutions, asked for the case to be adjourned until July for sentencing.
She said Scott would be arraigned on eight other similar counts at that hearing.
Judge John O’Hagan adjourned the case for welfare and probation reports.
