>Former Fine Gael TD and councillor in County Meath, J V Farrelly, has confirmed that a charity of which he is a founder and director purchased a nursing home last year with the help of €1.6 million in Chinese funding obtained through the, now discredited, Immigrant Investor Programme (IIP).

> Mr Farrelly was among the owners of the nursing home before it was purchased by the charity. Mr Farrelly is also registered with the IIP at the Department of Justice as a lobbyist for Chinese investment. The ‘visa for investment’ scheme, which was abruptly closed in February over concerns about the source and distribution of some of the €1.2 billion in cash it has raised, is run by the Department of Justice and supervised by Farrelly’s close political ally in Meath East, the Minister for Justice, Helen McEntee TD.

However, he could not identify them.“I’ve no idea who they are. I wasn’t dealing with them,” he said. “We found them through a solicitor. They were Chinese people. I don’t know them”.

I’ve met her and she is sound
So we selling out to the Chinese more day by day. Look into the eyes of those men, china have big plans with the world becoming the biggest superpower and it won’t be great for democracy’s around the world
McEntee is such a lightweight. no point influencing her, but her advisor is a good target
Here’s the thing, I doubt she had any involvement in the authorising of this application.
However the fraud around this scheme has been known and made known to Helen McEntee since day one. It dates back years.
Why it took Simon Harris to shut it down is what I’d like to know.
It’s another area that she’s failed in for me, she’s singlehandedly responsible for the crisis in the asylum system – the increased numbers are a result of her decisions to grant everyone in the asylum process a permission as part of the larger undocumented scheme. That and the stopping of deportations created the circumstances that encouraged loads of bullshit asylum applications.
She’s an utterly dangerous moron and shouldn’t be let near a ministry ever again.
