A Donegal woman has admitted providing false or misleading information when applying for a passport.
Bridget McDonagh pleaded guilty to the offence at Letterkenny Circuit Court.
She was charged that on a date unknown, prior to and including August 23, 2023, at an unknown location, she did provide information or documents that were false and misleading in a material respect when applying for an issue of a passport.
The charge is contrary to section 20 (1) (a) of the Passport Act 2009 as amended.
McDonagh was formally arraigned before Judge John Aylmer. The 50-year-old, of Coill An Airgid, Donegal Road, Ballybofey, spoke only to plead guilty.
The accused was represented by Mr Patrick O’Sullivan, instructed by solicitor Mr Rory O’Brien.
The case was adjourned until November 11.
Previously, when remanded on continuing bail, the District Court imposed a condition that she surrender her passport, not apply for a new or duplicate passport, not leave the island of Ireland and provide a phone number to Gardai on which she must be contactable 24/7.
