This is the new owner of the old paint factory in Coolock. 🚨

Meet Peter McGarry,

He’s from Kildare,

but lives in Switzerland for tax reasons. 🤓🇨🇭

He likes to virtue-signal online about his electric Land Rover and his “Earth Foundation”.

But he doesn’t mention his actual business of housing asylum seekers
for maximum profit

To be fair to Peter though he doesn’t seem like the brains behind the operation.

My suspicion is he the junior partner…. 🧵
The other owner of the old paint factory is Paul Collins..

the real piece of meat in this story 🥩

Collins was a Celtic Tiger Cowboy.

NAMA bailed him out for €45million !!

he reportedly still has personal loans of €2.7m to AIB.

But he never gave up the graft.

For over a decade he has been involved in asylum centres all over Ireland - Kerry, Roscommon, Leitrim, Dublin, Cork.

He’s basically an asylum centre dealer.Image
Paul Collins is constantly making headlines for the wrong reasons.

the migrants staying in one of his centres in Kerry went on hunger strike because conditions were so bad.

Here is a picture of them holding signs pleading for help!

How is this man still allowed to be in business - yet he is rewarded with lucrative Govt. contracts.Image
Paul Collins and Peter McGarry are unlikely bedfellows.

But in 2018 that’s what they became when they set up “Garlin Investments ICAV”

Collins also became a director of the McGarry family business - “Caragh Trees” in 2018 🧐
Image
Image
The McGarry family business looks very normal from the outside

In 2018 they had this nice little piece in the paper letting everyone know how profitable they were

The question must be asked why would they let a fox like Collins into their hen house?

I suspect there’s more to it…Image
The business relationship between Collins and McGarry is extensive.

They are listed as directors and shareholders of over 20 linked companies.

“Townbe ULC” is one of the most notable.

This company was paid €43.5million from the tax payer in the last 3 years for housing asylum seekers!!Image
Image
last year when the Govt. announced new laws that any building with a roof on it can be turned into an asylum centre WITHOUT planning permission -

they didn’t waste any time -

Old paint factories were now on the menu!

This type of Govt. policy needs to be seen as wreckless.
It must be said nothing here is illegal.

The problem is that the Govt. has created an Immigration Industrial Complex -

paid for by the taxpayer

But the profits aren’t subject to tax - when structured correctly.

All this chaos in Coolock just so cowboys like Collins & McGarry can enrich themselves further.

No thanks.

I’m calling for serious policy reform.Image

Who the real owner if your boss gets a salary?

Question

Has the Irish Govt. been inadvertently supporting a major pro-Israel / anti-Palestine media campaign, "Facts for Peace", via obscene payments to the asylum centre in Citywest Hotel?
😅 😳
Background

Starwood Capital has been a major vulture fund in the Irish market since 2013, acquiring $1 billion worth of Dublin real estate at a "significant discount to par."

Its founder and owner is Barry Sternlicht....Image

Niall Collins TD is some man for planning ! !

He'll make sure there is no refugees in Limerick but guarantee them in Dublin.

Who is he doing his favours for?....🧵 Image
What happened?

This week, Dublin City Council gave the green light for two buildings, 38 & 39 Gardiner Street, to be used as Refugee Accommodation.

All thanks to a special letter of support from Niall Collins.

Letter from Collins ✉️

Incredibly, the planning application refers to a supporting letter from Niall Collins the Minister of State for Skills & Further Education.

The letter is not online, but I find this quote interesting....

"The letter notes that the applicant currently operate a number of Emergency Accommodation Centres"Image

You do not hate RTÉ enough.

This week on "Upfront With Katie Hannon" they debated paying GAA managers.

Out of all the experts, they platformed former Monaghan manager Séamus "Banty" McEnaney, who claims he never took a cent in travel expenses 😇

Shame they didn’t ask him about the €130M he’s pocketing for housing asylum seekers....🧵
Since 2020 Banty has been paid an eye watering €130,000,000 to house refugees...

Simply extraordinary that this is real.... Image
TAX DEFAULTER

Its amazing that a man who has had to pay €2,580,000 to Revenue as part of a tax settlements in 2018 can be awarded such lucrative State contracts....

The MIND BOGGLES!!Image

Billionaire wants to create an GIANT Asylum Centre on the Merrion Road

Eamon Waters has bought the old Jacob’s building to cash in on the asylum scam. But is he the one to blame?? 🤔

…. 🧵 Image
Image
Who?

Eamon Waters is the founder of Panda Waste. He started with one truck in the 90’s & sold his company in 2021 for €1.4billion !!! 🤤

There is no doubt this man is an incredible entrepreneur, deal maker and developer. 👏 👏 👏 Image
He set up a new investment company Stretaw (Waters backward!) to deploy his new war-chest. 💰

Simply put, he has been on a warpath around Dublin building hotels, apartments buying shopping centres etc

His name is always in the news… Image
