@nwl88444048 You'll get to the bottom of it I'm sure 😉

This man is Bernard Byrne.

Perhaps the biggest criminal without an actual criminal record in Ireland.

He has been a consistent suspect of fuel smuggling and has been under extensive documented surveillance by the Criminal Assets Bureau.

Despite literally being a state target of financially motivated crime, he bizarrely has had his company be given contract for IPAS by that same state.

Tenzing LTD has been paid €8.7M by the Irish government to house asylum seekers.

The company was set up in January 2023 and is registered in Lucan.

Byrne is owner and director.

The company ran emergency accommodation at Redbank Guesthouse in Skerries.

Reported payments include:

- 2023: €1.79M.

- 2024: €2.38M.

- First quarter of 2025: €1.86M.

First half of 2026: €2.16M.

Linked to Redbank Guesthouse, much of it.

Another former Byrne-linked accomodatiom hody, Astervale, was receiving state payments of about €415,000 between 2022 and 2024.

As for Byrne’s background, he and his brother John-Paul were targeted in 2005 by the UK Assets Recovery Agency over assets in the north of Ireland valued at about £750,000.

That case followed a 2004 joint inquiry with Ireland’s CAB and HM Revenue and Customs into alleged cross-border fuel smuggling, fuel laundering, excise fraud and money laundering.

Assets named at the time included filling-station interests in Armagh and Down, a house in Newry, a Belfast apartment, vehicles, farm machinery and bank accounts.

These were asset-recovery allegations, not a reported criminal conviction.

But the political context is what's most pertinent.

The reporting places the payments in a wider row over who is winning IPAS contracts.

Why is our state doing business with such figures?

We know all too well why.

A Syrian who arrived on fake passport triggered security alert at Dublin Airport. He, attempted to flee across the airport apron entered the tarmac. Air traffic control allegedly had to halt aircraft operations. Gardai objected to bail to no avail. https://t.co/YaH6KlLRll

@EoinLenihan Irish taxpayers are being fleeced. I stood behind one of these immigrants in a queue in the pharmacy recently. He had over 20 medical card prescriptions. He just opened out a ream of them, perforations unbroken and handed them over. Meanwhile Irish ppl struggle to get basic care

[Nicola M @NicolaMath10689]

@ShamrockSoup @MaryKenny4 I think you'd find the outcome of a vote would be very different especially when working people in the north find out the lose their medical cards and get screwed on the price of everything from cars to tiny Temu packages

[Nicola M @NicolaMath10689]

@ShamrockSoup @MaryKenny4 I think she means a majority wouldn't support
