Mr Smith said he believed the employee's poor maths skills had also been to blame for the till being short at the end of the night on occasion. Judge Kevin Kelly said the staff member had made a "significant mistake'' and selling alcohol to a minor was a serious matter which could not go unpunished. Judge Kelly said the changes Mr Kelly had made to the bar's processes since the incident, which included sticking a date card on the till, were "laudable''.
