A woman has admitted to fraudulently pocketing more than £26,000, which donors believed would be sent to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution. Eileen McDonagh, 33, pleaded guilty to four charges of fraud by false representation and a further charge of concealing, disguising, converting, transfering or removing criminal property at a Bath Magistrates’ Court hearing on 22 May. McDonagh, of Redbridge, London, was convicted of using a card machine to collect money that donors thought was going to the RNLI.A spokesperson for the RNLI said: “It is disappointing that generous donations intended to save lives at sea did not reach our charity. “RNLI face-to-face fundraisers carry an official ID card and we would encourage people to check this before donating if they are unsure.”Martin McDonagh, 35, of Walthamstow, London, also appeared in court and pleaded not guilty to the concealing, disguising, converting, transferring or removing of criminal property amounting to £4,151. The pair were granted unconditional bail and sent to Bristol Crown Court, where they will appear on 27 June for their next hearing.
