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...🤔

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

🤠 🤯
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 🤯
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!)
Rainmaker
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.
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.
"What is left unsaid carries more weight than what is shouted the loudest"
Here is what they are not telling you about Budget '25.....🧵
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..
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..
