Gombeen fraud too close for comfort to Noel Dempsey
Just came accross this interesting article. Remember that this is the man who tells us that Lismullen is just "holes in the ground." Irish Mail on Sunday, September 23 2007 Fraud probe into Dempsey brother deal by John Lee Noel Dempsey’s brother and one of the transport minister’s most powerful political allies are the subject of a fraud investigation ordered by new Garda Commissioner Fachtna Murphy, according to documents provided to the Irish Mail on Sunday. Minister Dempsey had hoped the complicated and potentially embarrassing investigation into a land deal in his Co. Meath constituency had gone away. But according to a Garda document dated May 2007, Detective Superintendent Eugene Gallagher has been appointed to take charge of the investigation into two companies, Eracase and Cloonisle Holdings. (Flats built on ‘car park’ land) Mr Dempsey’s brother, Loman, and Raymond Potterton, an auctioneer appointed to the National Roads Authority by Mr Dempsay are the owners of Eracase. However, Mr Gallagher is understood to have extended his investigation to include a second company, Cloonisle Holdings, after interviewing a new witness during the summer. This is being seen as a significant breakthrough in the investigation into the highly complicated land deal in Navan, Co. Meath. Mr Gallagher indicated in correspondence to a key witness on May 16, a week before the general election, that new interviews were being planned because of developments. ‘I am anxious to move this matter on at this stage and so your early co-operation in this regard will be appreciated,’ wrote Mr Gallagher, in a letter headed ‘allegations of fraud perpetrated against Meath Co. Council, Navan Urbgan District Council and the IDA’. The interviews took place in recent years. The Garda document seen by the MoS also revels that then Deputy Commissioner Fachtna Murphy personally passed the file to the Garda Bureau of Fraud Investigation in March 2006. The MoS revealed last year that the alleged fraud is also being investigated by the Mahon Tribunal. The Garda fraud inquiry focuses on the purchase of a 5,000sq.ft plot of land, in the centre of Navan, by Eracase. In 1995, the land at Market Square, in Navan, was sold by publican Jim Curry to the urban district council (UDC) for €45,000. Messrs Potterton and Dempsey, through their company, Eracase, had earlier offered Mr Curry €35,000 for the land but he refused to sell. Mr Curry said he was informed by the UDC that the land was to be used for a car park. He told the MoS that the UDC had threatened him with a compulsory purchase order if he did not sell. The following year, the property was sold to Eracase for €45,000 and was subsequently used for an apartment complex known as the Steeples. (Publican held the trump card) Local gardaí investigated the land deal involving Eracase, Navan UDC and Meath Co. Council in 1995 but no action was taken. In 2001, Noel Dempsey, who was then the environment minister and had responsibility for local authorities, ordered a senior official in his department to assess the land deal involving his brother, Loman, and Mr Potterton. The official, John Cullen, reported back saying there was no basis for a formal inquiry. Loman Dempsey works for Mr Potterton, one of Co. Math’s largest auctioneers and a close associate of the Dempsey family. Commissioner Murphy ordered the investigation when new information came to light during the trial of a private detective, William Flynn. At his trial last year, Mr Flynn claimed that companies or individuals associated with Meath Co. Council got council land worth £4m for £98,000. Mr Flynn was tried for the alleged theft of a file in Decemer 2003 and was cleared. He claimed the file related to ‘complex fraud’ and ‘massive corruption’. He said one of his clients was James Curry who was paying for his time. The court was told by former Navan town clerk John O’Donaghue that Mr Curry had a plot of land that provided the only access to eight other plots off Ludlow Street, Navan, and all nine had been designated for urban renewal. ‘He held the trump card,’ Mr O’Donaghue said

I would be far more interested in exploring the Alleged links between major Motor Industry figures and the Transport Minister.

I would also like to see if there have been any revisions to contracts regarding the operation of new Toll Roads in the past 6 months......

Potterton got himself a handy number here too:

"Nor does the annual report breathe a word about director Raymond Potterton. A little digging reveals that Potterton was a business partner of Loman Dempsey, brother of none other than cabinet minister Noel Dempsey."

It is totally sickening, absolutely corrupt.
Rotten through and through - that is Ireland.
An estate agent, a nurse, a shopkeeper, an hotelier (All FF'ers)
Just what's needed to direct and run the NRA and serve the best interests of the people on the subject of roads - a bloody nurse, a bloody shopkeeper and a bloody hotelier...
Jesus wept!

This is an earlier post of mine, Its a pic of him flying into Trim GAA pitch.

thebman

He proved himself incompetent when runnin the Dept. of Comms so I'm not surprised if he is just as incomptent when being put in charge of Transport.

Why do these people get put in charge of our infrastructure when they know nothing about it?

spadder

Don't forget he's also responsible for e-voting, 50+million wasted, while just last week he berated those committing "economic treason".

As you can probably gather, I'm no fan of Dempsey.

How can one person waste so much money.........He should be sent to jail with no paroll
