An agent for An Post yesterday appeared in court charged with stealing payments from old-age pensioners.

At Kilrush District Court, Maureen Walsh, aged 56, of the Lighthouse Inn, Kilbaha on the Loop Head peninsula in west Clare, appeared in connection with 36 charges concerning the theft of over €12,400 from An Post and five old-age pensioners.

Ms Walsh’s solicitor, Joseph Chambers, told the court yesterday that his client would be entering a guilty plea to all of the counts.
