A 'vulnerable' man who pretended to be the biological father of a seven-month-old boy, born to a woman from outside the country, in order to apply for an Irish birth certificate and passport for the child has received an eight month suspended sentence.
A"vulnerable" man who pretended to be the biological father of a seven-month-old boy, born to a woman from outside the country, in order to apply for an Irish birth certificate and passport for the child has received an eight month suspended sentence.
Judge Dorgan said that the man made a"gross error" in making the false claims. However, she said that he had acted out of kindness.However, she stated that by putting his name down as the father of the child, he had ultimately"facilitated" the mother of the boy in getting an Irish passport. Meanwhile, the court previously heard evidence from Detective Garda Mark Hennebry, of the Garda National Immigration Bureau, who said the child was born in 2008 to non-national parents who had arrived in Ireland to study. The mother was not long in the State when the child was born.
He agreed with the proposition put forward by the defence that the man had acted out of empathy and had nothing to gain from his offending behaviour. Judge Dorgan said it was a grave offence as it involved three different offences on three separate occasions and at different locations.
