A MotorCheck report shows that in 2022 the Taoiseach’s Garda car (Lexus) covered ~65k km. In 2021 it was ~52k km.
Niall Collins claimed €23k for 73,000km in 2022. We’re expected to believe that his ministerial duties involved more driving than a Cork-based Taoiseach.
Niall Collins is refusing to address a second unusually high driving expenses claim – where he said he drove almost 3,000 kilometres in a month when the Dáil wasn’t sitting and his diary suggests just 170 kilometres of driving for ministerial work.

A letter from a property company that didn’t exist was submitted in support of a planning application for one of Niall Collins’s homes.
Collins’s wife twice used variations of her first name when applying for permission to extend the couple’s home.

Sinn Féin’s director of finance – a member of the party’s ard comhairle – illegally converted an office into a “wholly substandard” apartment with no ventilation nor privacy.
His tenant still lives there.
This is just one of his 10 rental properties.

FG senator John "twix" McGahon amends his register of interests for 2021 and declares for the first time that he is a landlord. He seemingly forgot that he rents an office to himself [which he claims back on expenses] and he also rents the apartment overhead
This would have finished off any other Taoiseach and Government by now, but we live in a different era of deceit and bare faced lying
Congratulations @leeofthemail for exposing this https://t.co/RhsC3YQQH5

Canada is banning foreign investors buying up their homes.
Why can't we do that here?
What does the Irish Government do?
Gives them tax breaks!
Housing should be for homes not investments for wealthy real estate funds
