Comments were not intimidating, says developer

The developer seeking a contract to provide a centre for asylum seekers in Oughterard, Co Galway, has denied making “intimidating” comments to a delegation of residents last week.

Seán Lyons Snr who is associated with Fazyard Ltd, which runs Dublin’s largest direct provision centre in Clondalkin, confirmed to The Irish Examiner that he met the residents with Mr Kyne in Dublin last Thursday (sep 19).
