Episode 863: The bizarre unravelling of a Grandmother’s 28-year-long pension fraud

A 73-year-old grandmother who was jailed for theft and larceny has walked free after just six weeks behind bars.


Margaret Bergin claimed over €270,000 from social welfare in the name of her deceased father in law who died in 1993.


She was discovered in 2022 when welfare officers came to her home and found her husband in bed, pretending to be the frail 110-year-old.


Clodagh Meaney speaks to Eimear Rabbitt about fraudsters and the lengths people go to for cash.
