    A glamorous actress who helped mastermind a tax scam involving a movie that never existed has been ordered to pay back some of her profits or face more time in jail.
    But actress Aoife Madden will only have to refund £2,525.30 (€3,552) out of her benefit of £798,950 (€1,123,764) from the swindle.
    Madden, born in Armagh and niece of Sinn Fein politician Conor Murphy, was part of a team of bogus film-makers who fraudulently claimed £2.7m (€3.8m) in tax rebates by pretending to shoot the movie A Landscape Of Lies.
    The gang falsely boasted to have signed up former EastEnders star and Loose Women presenter Andrea McLean, along with Hollyoaks star Christina Bailey, veteran Jeremy Irons and actress Sorcha Cusack.

    Comical stuff. £2.7 million claimed in tax rebates, 8 minutes of low quality footage filmed in their apartment.

    love how they mention her being related to a Shinner, even though that has absolutely nothing to do with the story.
    gutter journalism at it's finest.

    Technically speaking given the title they have produced a work of conceptual art, "A Landscape Of Lies."

    Out of all the actors she could have come up with those are the best she could think of?

    Got to admire the neck on her. Even if she's in prison for it now.
