Adam Clayton takes to the stand against former P.A.

Adam Clayton is giving evidence today at Dublin's Central Criminal Court against his former personal assistant who is alleged to have stolen €2.8 million from his bank accounts.

Clayton's former PA, Carol Hawkins, who worked for the U2 bassist for 16 years from 1992, is accused of stealing checks from Clayton for a period of four years. Hawkins was a signatory on two of Clayton's bank accounts.

It is alleged that Hawkins lodged 181 of Clayton's cheques into her personal account in order to fund a more upmarket lifestyle.

Clayton joked when he took the stand that he not used to being behind a microphone, saying "I'm more of a 'dum, dum, dum', but I will practise my technique".
