A Chinese woman working in Co Kildare for the past eight years was handed the probation act for having a false passport.

Naas District Court heard how the accused is employed in Naas.

The court heard how she had altered her passport in order to apply for a job.

Defence Solicitor, Joe Coonan said: "Her husband was sick so they had no income. She was forced into a situation."

Evidence was given that when her employer was notified about the false passport, she was facilitated to set up a PPS number.

Judge Desmond Zaidan ordered the probation act.
