Did you know that Morgan McSweeney's Mum & Dad have been paid €8.4M+ by the Irish Govt for asylum accommodation... with all profits routed through a Cyprus shell company??

...🧵

The name of the company is "TÓGÁIL VEILBHIT GLAS TEORANTA"

Set up very recently in Feb 2023, it has already been paid €8.4million!! Tim & Carmel McSweeney are directors, secretary.

Tógáil Veilbhit Glas Teoranta is owned by another Irish company Velvet Quality Systems which is ultimately controlled by Cerapon Ltd, a holding company based in Cyprus.

Each of which links back to Tim McSweeny and his business partners.

Why Cyprus? Tax & Privacy.

One name that appears on the paperwork: Armand Lako.

He’s a director of both the Cyprus company and the Irish holding company.

He’s also a senior figure in RELM Finance, a private lender operating in the shadow banking world of high-risk real estate finance.

And there’s more...

Morgan McSweeney's 1st cousin, Clare Mungovan, is special advisor and lead policy advisor to Simon Harris,

Tim McSweeney is her uncle.

So one family is influencing both Irish and British Govts at the highest levels while making millions on asylum seekers

Yesterday Simon Harris said it was not possible to row back on controversial policy of IPAS planning exemptions... even though his own councillors want him to

I think it is only reasonable to now ask if those advising him on this subject are conflicted??

Opinion

This might not be illegal.
But it stinks.

€8.4 million in taxpayer money.
Routed through a private company.

Owned by the family of the UK Prime Minister’s chief adviser.

Structured through a Cyprus shell.
Tied to a shadow banking insider.
And linked to an adviser to the Irish Taoiseach.

This is a look at the lowest level of political-business ecosystem grossly profiting from a public crisis.

What else don't we know?
