Robert Troy property controversy: a timeline

He bought a second property, Ash Lawn, from a Fianna Fáil councillor in Longford town, Bill Collentine, in 2019. He paid €82,500 for it in May of that year, before selling it on in August for €163,000. He failed to register the ownership of this property on his register of members’ interests as he did not own it at the end of the year. A third property, at Oak Crest in Mullingar, was included in 2019 but not in 2020 as said he no longer had an interest at the end of that year.

Sipo says Ministers and TDs can sell property to local authorities and other public bodies without having to publicly disclose the transactions.Troy makes wide-ranging amendments to the Oireachtas register of members’ interests going back over a decade. He also apologises for errors in his returns.

Troy also says he fully refutes any “inference or implication of any improper tax conduct on my part. I am fully tax-compliant as a landlord and public representative.”Troy comes under pressure to reveal the details of rental contracts he has with Westmeath County Council. People Before Profit TD Paul Murphy asks Sipo to investigate if Troy’s non-declaration of the RAS contracts with Westmeath County Council is a breach of ethics legislation.
