Other mistakes included failing to register directorships, or companies related to his properties, and stakes in some of those properties in end of year returns. He said he mistakenly believed once a property had been sold, or a directorship exited, in a particular year, they did not need to be declared in a return for the end of that year.
The SIPO commission will not solely consider whether errors, or breaches of legislation, took place but also if they were inadvertent, negligent, reckless or intentional and whether they were serious or minor in nature. Mr Troy, a Fianna Fáil TD for the Longford-Westmeath constituency, “hoped” his explanations at Monday’s hearings “demonstrate these errors were in no way intentional and at no point did I try to conceal any of my information or any of the interests I had in any property or any directorships”.
