MAN CONVICTED FOR FAILING TO PROVIDE INFORMATION TO CHILD SUPPORT AGENCY

A man was convicted at Antrim Magistrate's Court yesterday for failing to supply information when asked by the Child Support Agency (CSA).

Brendan Craig (27), of Drummaul Park, Randalstown, was fined £800 and ordered to pay costs after being found guilty of failing to supply information which had been asked for by the Child Support Agency on five different occasions. The court ordered that the fine be paid within four weeks.

Failure to comply with a request for information from the Child Support Agency is a criminal offence and can lead to a maximum fine of up to £1000.

This is the first case of this type taken by the Child Support Agency which is stepping up its efforts to make non-resident parents meet their financial responsibilities for their children.
