Refugee to Real Estate Mogul: How This Asylum Seeker Built An Irish Property Empire — Nick Delehanty
Nick Delehanty is an entrepreneur, investigative researcher and solicitor who has emerged as a leading voice in exposing financial irregularities in Ireland’s asylum accommodation system. Expect to learn about his groundbreaking investigation into what he terms the “Slumdog Asylum Millionaire” case – revealing how an asylum seeker became director of a multi-million euro company providing asylum accommodation while simultaneously being director of tax-defaulting companies, the involvement of unregulated “shadow banks” providing massive property financing, and the broader systemic failures in due diligence and oversight of billions in taxpayer funds. His findings expose concerning interconnections between various companies and individuals operating in this sector with minimal accountability.
