Niamh Bonner (54) of Central Drive was charged with one count of theft of £10,500 from Alcoholics Anonymous on dates between August 1, 2018 and November 1, 2018
A woman will be sentenced on November 13 after she admitted stealing more than £10,000 from the local Derry branch of Alcoholics Anonymous.
Niamh Bonner (54) of Central Drive in Derry appeared at the local Crown Court today.
She was charged with one count of theft of £10,500 from Alcoholics Anonymous on dates between August 1, 2018 and November 1, 2018.
She was also charged with fraud by abuse of position on dates between August 1, 2018 and December 1, 2019.
When the charges were put to her she pleaded guilty to both charges.
In response to a question from Judge Neil Rafferty KC defence counsel for Bonner, Mr Dean Mooney, told the court that the defendant had been the Treasurer of the local branch of Alcoholics Anonymous.
Judge Rafferty said that this was a breach of trust case and as such he would need a pre-sentence report and also an assessment of the damage done to the organisation.
He told Bonner she would be sentenced on November 13 and in the meantime he released her on continuing bail.
