Kildare minder has sentenced adjourned in stolen-cash case

A Kildare care assistant has had her sentence for stealing €4,760 from an elderly woman adjourned by Judge Katherine Delahunt who said she was trying to blackmail the court by not making arrangements for her sons.

Linda Maher was given the PIN number by the 83 year-old victim to get cash for her but then began regularly taking the ‘Laser’ card from her purse to steal sums of €200 to €350 that she spent on shopping.
