Woman logged dozens of hours of home tuition for a girl which never took place

A woman has been found guilty of trying to claim money from the Department of Education by logging dozens of hours of home tuition for a girl that never took place.

Catherine Lydon O’Keeffe of Coronea, Baltimore Road in Skibbereen pleaded guilty to the charge after the Department launched an investigation when it had noticed a discrepancy in home tuition hours submitted by the family and by Ms O’Keeffe.
