Carer stole from woman’s home | Meath Chronicle

A CARER who admitted stealing €150 from a woman’s home was in financial difficulty, a Judge heard.

Her barrister told Trim District Court on Tuesday that there was €150 compensation available to cover the loss.

It was stated that Carol Monaghan of Caulstown, Dunboyne stole separate sums on two different dates early last year. She took €50 cash on a visit to the victim’s home on 15th February. The larceny was subsequently reported by the victim’s daughter.

Barrister James O’Brien explained the defendant was separated from her partner and with very limited money. She appreciated it was a very serious matter.

Judge Eirinn McKiernan adjourned the case to 12th May to obtain a restorative justice report.
