U2 star Adam Clayton's former personal assistant has been sentenced to seven years in prison for the embezzlement of €2.8m (£2.2m) of the bassist's money.
Carol Hawkins was last week convicted on 181 counts of theft from Clayton's bank accounts over a four-year period.
Clayton was not in court as the 48-year-old Hawkins was led away by prison guards at the circuit criminal court in Dublin after Judge Patrick McCartan had delivered the sentence.
"Nothing, frankly, could explain away the scale of this dishonesty other than the greed in pursuit of a lavish lifestyle that was no responsibility of Mr Clayton's," said McCartan.
He said Hawkins having maintained her innocence throughout the trial was a factor in his sentencing and suggested if given an opportunity to commit a similar crime in the future, he was not entirely confident she would resist.
"These were crimes rooted in greed and nothing else," he said. "Whether she was a fool or clever person really matters very little."
