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
Ok so who is the Applicant? 🤔

The company is called Ericinvest Limited. It was set up in Feb 2024 & has never traded.

Its director & 100% shareholder is Patrick Flanagan, from Youghal.

Its registered address is "Beechlawn Guest House" in Old Portmarnock....👇🏻Image
Image
Image
Incredibly "Beechlawn Guesthouse" in Portmarnock is itself an unregistered homeless accommodation centre

It was controversially REFUSED RETENTION in May

The garage was converted into apartments with no water connections, toilets, or sewage. 🤮

Developer

According to planning docs "Beechlawn Guest House" was to be developed by HLK Developments which is owned by Brendan Delaney who was featured in the Paradise Papers & businessman Harry Parkinson.

Its sole director is Damien Fitzimons.

The registered address of HLK Development is also oddly enough "Beechlawn Guest House" itslelf...🤔Image

Dublin HQ

In fact there are over 15 companies all registered at Beechlawn Guest House!

Each of which lists either Patrick Flanagan or Derek Scully as directors.

Many of these companies have multi million euro contracts with the Dept. of Children to house refugees.Image

State Contracts

Codelix Limited,
Kyraview Limited,
Shakeview Limited &
Coziq Enterprises are making almost ~€10m a year. 😳

The shareholders of these companies are
Daniel Bateman 80% &
Sandra O'Neill 20%Image
Super Directors

InterestinglyPatrick Flanagan & Derek Scully are both involved with the Swift Hotel Group in Cork.

Flanagan is a director of the controversial Swiftcastle Roscrea which received €1.5m in Q2

The registered address of this company is Quality Hotel Youghal.Image
Cork HQ

In fact there are another ~10 companies connected to both Derek Scully & Patrick Flanagan each registered in Quality Hotel, Youghal.

Each also owned by either Allen McEnery, Daniel Bateman, Sandra O'Neill & others.

🤠 🤯Image
Swift Hotel Group

The Swift Hotel group is largely operated by its GM Allen McEnery.

The parent company is called Heronwell ULC which received a ~€7,000,000 from the Dept. of Children in Q2 alone 🤯Image
Small World

Interestingly Heronwell uses McGahon & Associates as its law firm.

Its managing partner, Maximilian McGahon, looks to be a close relation &/or number 1 fan of Fine Gael Senator John McGahon who was ordered to pay €39k for battering a local farmer

(..also fond of a twix!)Image

But most interestingly of all, the 99% Shareholder of Heronwell is the mysterious Daniel Bateman who lists his personal address at Beechlawn Guest House ! ! !

I have no further information on Bateman - but the connections here are insane.

There are people online with the same name but none look likely candidates.Image
Opinion & Analysis

When you add everything up, there is over €50,000,000+ a year going to this web of companies.

The companies are operating on 50% to 70% profit margins. Most of which are controlled by Daniel Bateman.

The fact that Nial Collins TD, the Minister of State for further education & skills has personally supported an application for this group in Dublin's North Inner City is nothing short of alarming. 🚨 🚨

It tells you all you need to know about this Govt. intent & involvement in the Immigration Industrial Complex.

They are hand and glove.

It must be said nothing here is illegal - (apart from maybe the works done to Beechlawn house😅!)

This whole web of companies has taken me days to untangle. I'm sure there is much that I have missed or maybe gotten wrong. There is likely A LOT more to all this that I haven't picked up.

But what is worrying is the fact that no mainstream newspaper has picked this up or will bother to in the future.

This election is soo important, we cannot allow another 4 years of this carry-on to continue.

I'm doing my best. But I encourage others to get out there and let people know. Spread the word.

Support your local candidate who is calling this out loudly.

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

"Coffee's for closers" ☕️

How does a closed-down café in Sallynoggin manage to make €50,000,000 a year from refugees centres?

Irish Govt contracts are brewing........🧵

"What is left unsaid carries more weight than what is shouted the loudest"

Here is what they are not telling you about Budget '25.....🧵 Image
Potemkin Show

Jack Chamber's gave a lovely performance.

A young Minister for Finance - in the job only a few months - with no qualification or industry experience but now delivering a €33billion bonanza budget.

Incredible..Image
But I have little interest in what was formerly announced..

Behind the curtain of giveaways and record spending, the real strings are pulled in silence. The public applaud the show without ever knowing the script.. Image

"When the roots are rotten, the fruit is bitter."

The bike shed contract is steeped in corruption. You reap what you sow.

New information has just come out, so let's walk through the facts....🧵Image
Who is Michael Stone?

A prominent Celtic Tiger businessman & close friend with Bertie.

He set up Designer Group, his engineering company in 1992. It turns over ~€150m+ every year.

It holds many lucrative State contracts.Image
Friends in High Places

Stone clearly sees value in having close political relationships. After the crash, he switched horses & became a staunch supporter of Fine Gael.

We know Stone used his company Designer Group, to help Paschal get elected in 2016 & 2020.Image
