• Mother of four gets suspended sentence for defrauding state of €20,774 Fraud (false claiming of social welfare) · Co. Limerick

  Lydie Mambouana, a woman from Newcastle West, County Limerick, was charged with defrauding the state of €20,774 in social welfare payments after failing to inform the Minister for Social Protection of a change in her circumstances and making a statement she knew to be false. The offences came to light in July 2020. In July 2023, she pleaded guilty at Newcastle West Court before Judge Carol Anne Coolican, who imposed a one-month custodial sentence suspended for one year. The judge declined to add a fine, noting Mambouana already owed the state over €20,000 and is repaying the balance of €19,954 in weekly instalments of €20.
