JEFF FLEE-O!

MOTH NEWS LIVE | Friday 23 October | 11am

Has the extraordinary Dundrum House saga finally reached a turning point?

After years of controversy, legal battles and more than €20 million in State accommodation payments, the Government has confirmed it will not renew the IPAS contract at the historic Tipperary estate.

And we're hearing that American businessman Jeff Leo has left Ireland and relocated to New Jersey.

This week, Keith Walsh and Al examine the latest developments, the remarkable efforts of Dundrum's local heritage campaigners and the future of the 300-year-old manor house.

We'll show photographs revealing the reported deterioration of the historic building and ask: After all the money spent, who is accountable for what happens next?

ALSO ON THE SHOW:

🔴 THE NEW JERSEY CONNECTION — New developments involving Jeff Leo, David Lestrange and the liquidation of Brogan Capital Ventures. What emerged from the latest creditors' meeting, and what questions remain unanswered?

🔴 LEO VARADKAR & NORTHERN NATIONALISTS — The former Taoiseach suggests the South owes northern nationalists an apology for abandoning them after partition. Is he right? And how do his comments sit alongside his previous criticism of Sinn Féin and the IRA?

🔴 FOLLOW THE PUBLIC MONEY — MOTH examines the financial relationship between Enterprise Ireland, Elkstone and Alan Merriman. We're seeking answers about State-backed investments, consultancy payments, struggling start-ups and the returns delivered to taxpayers.
