Embattled attorney general Paul Gallagher, who has this week had to defend his representation of former Independent News and Media directors in a High Court action, owns a property portfolio worth an estimated €8.5 million.

One of Ireland’s largest trade unions invested €290,000 in a controversial real estate investment trust (REIT).

It took the recall of the toxic ViraPro hand sanitiser for the HSE to ask another sanitiser supplier whether its product was lawful to distribute in Ireland.

Green Party minister of state Ossian Smyth failed to declare a company directorship in the Dáil members’ register of interests.

The businessman who sold the HSE €3.3 million of unusable hand sanitiser previously owned three companies that were struck off for failing to file accounts.
