Man who "lives a pretty miserable life" jailed over social welfare fraud
Stage: Sentence
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: He described it as a serious offence but accepted that Flynn was "highly unlikely to do it again". "The court must give a message to the general population that you will pay a price if you are caught committing social welfare fraud," Judge Nolan adding that he must impose a prison sentence because of the "persistence" of Flynn's fraud.
