…But in Ireland, we know that the British Virgin Islands has been a destination of choice for Irish property developers, as well as businessmen and women generally. After all, its (hitherto!) secrecy and tax regime have been attracting such titans of Irish business as the (Sean) Quinn family and Ray Grehan. A BVI registered company is after NAMAed Paddy Kelly [above], now in Florida. There is nothing illegal or untoward about incorporating BVI companies, but there are long-held suspicions that the secrecy provided by the BVI has been abused. You cannot generally find out the shareholders, directors or financial information of companies incorporated in the BVI, it’s all hidden behind nominees like BVI solicitors.
This leaking has changed all that.

A committee has recommended that any works on the National Monument site at Moore Street in Dublin be stopped until a more appropriate setting for the buildings is proposed.
The Moore Street Advisory Committee also recommends an independent site assessment be commissioned to include the evacuation route for the 1916 rising and the area around Moore Street, the GPO, and Parnell Street.
The report [comisssioned by Dublin City Council] will be considered by the council at their meeting next Monday.
