Curious.
Article mentions "one of the richest business families in Galway"
Never occurred to me before when going past the Imperial
We know that direct provision centres are highly profitable How accommodating asylum seekers turned into a billion-euro industry, and are topical at the moment, but do they own any flat complexes or estates like the Comers own Moneenageisha Court?

I’d love to see who is getting these contracts myself or the directors /shareholders of these companies ... the usual bunch will be involved I’m sure

Last year the Department of Justice announced plans to lease 35 properties in the city centre to house asylum seekers - the old student/tourist accommodations on Dominick Street and on Munster Avenue.
The contract to lease the properties was signed with Keldesso Ltd, is that Flannery?
