Remember the Govt’s White Paper to end Direct Provision? It promised asylum seekers their own front door.
The reality is that millions have been paid to an Isle of Man🇮🇲controlled company to buy up portfolios of houses for itself & lease them back to the State...🧵
Background
In 2021 Roderic O'Gorman launched a new strategy to end direct provision whereby asylum seekers would be given with their own houses....
One company saw a major opportunity - "Dídean Dochas Eireann Teoranta"
They launched a lobbying campaign of top Ministers, TDs & Senior Civil Servants to set out their plan..
They even had a one on one with An Taoiseach Micheál Martin👀
A GAA legend
Three All-Stars
Given his debut by Banty in ’07
Monaghans's best talent in a generation
But when his company scores ~€10million in State contracts he uses a different name....why so secret? 🤔
PART II...🧵
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
Conor McManus is Monaghan GAA Royalty.
One of the best forwards to ever play the game.
Made his debut under Banty in '07 and played under him again from 2019 to 2022.
But it turns out he isn't just a key man on the pitch...
Last month @thecurrency published a bombshell report detailing how "Dublin Homeless Region Executive"(DRHE) is paying hundreds of millions to private landlords for "emergency accommodation"
Banty tops the list with €50m along with other major players in the IPAS system.
