Man Convicted Of Benefit Fraud
An Enniskillen man has been convicted for claiming benefits he was not entitled to at Enniskillen Magistrates' Court.

He is also required to repay any outstanding money wrongfully obtained to the Social Security Agency.
Work Starts On Storm Sewer Extension
AG Wilson and NI Water has started work on a new storm sewer extension in Castledawson in L'Derry.
The work is expected to take approximately 12 weeks.
It involves the laying of approximately 400 metres of new sewer pipe, as well as the installation of 11 manholes. The work is being carried out to provide first time sewerage facilities and allow for current and future development in the local area.
Detailed traffic management plans have been agreed with Transport NI to try and minimise the impact of these works and diversions will be put in place.
The work will affect Annaghmore Mews, Meadow Field Place, Shilgrove Place and the local surgery.
Arts Groups Protest Over Cuts
Alliance Arts spokesperson Anna Lo has showed solidarity with arts groups by attending a protest about cuts to its budget.
South Belfast MLA Ms Lo was one of several Alliance elected representatives who participated in the demonstration, outside Parliament Buildings.
They joined around 200 artists, musicians and others calling on Arts Minister Caral Ní Chuilín to halt reductions to arts grants.
Ms Lo said arts budgets had been squeezed dangerously due to cuts.
She said: "Arts are an important outlet in our society that allows us to develop creativity. There are wider benefits too - studies show investment in the arts supports personal well-being and also aids our economy.
"Unfortunately, the Minister has made in-year cuts to fund other community projects, which suggests she does not realise the extremely worthwhile community work our arts sector already carries out."
