Pensioner who fraudulently collected brother's pension for years avoids jail
Stage: Sentence
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: Suspending a four year sentence in full, Judge Melanie Greally told Monahan she would have imprisoned him were it not for his poor health. Asking Judge Greally to consider not imposing a custodial sentence, Mr Spencer said that Monahan had suffered several heart attacks and had undergone triple bypass surgery.
