Adam Clayton’s PA has been sentenced to seven years for stealing almost €2m from the bassist.

Mother of two, Carol Hawkins was found guilty of 181 counts of theft last week and was sentenced today.

The 48-year-old committed the crime over a four year period which saw her spend the money on a lease for a New York apartment as well as courses for her kids among other luxuries.


Her barrister told the court said she isn't a devious woman and doesn't have any money squirrelled away for after her release.


Hawkins was driven away to begin her jail term, ironically in a van marked with the security number U2.


Adam Clayton wasn’t in court to hear the sentencing.
