The proposed programme involved a 30-day residential programme followed by five months in a sober living house.

We were just too busy.” Glover described the series of thefts as “breathtaking dishonesty”, while Sewell said she felt betrayed by McGirr’s dishonesty. She was well treated and was a trusted member of the family firm. “It was always, ‘anything I can do to help’ every five minutes, but it was really anything I can do to help myself,” Sewell said. “Very pleasant, very sweet, delightful to deal with. I know she owed rent on her house because her landlord was ringing me up, and they were frightened of her because of her aggression. So there was another side to her.”
