A former Prosperous postmaster who took more than €91,000 from the accounts of An Post customers, including €50,000 from his mother, appeared at Naas District Court on December 16 to face entirely separate allegations.
Naas Circuit Court heard over two months ago that Conor Armstrong, 43, of Main Street, Prosperous, Co Kildare, was pleading guilty to nine sample counts of theft of amounts ranging from €1,000 to €12,400 on dates between December 2013 and November 2015. Armstrong, who had taken over as postmaster of the post office in Prosperous from his late mother, Mary, in 2012, stole €91,534 in total from about 10 different An Post accounts.
