Stokes brothers accused of exaggerating income loss

Two brothers, banned from acting as directors of companies, have been accused of exaggerating their loss of income after they were sacked from a VIP members club they founded in Dublin.

Twins Simon and Christian Stokes were hired to work at Residence on St Stephen’s Green after their company, which set up the club, was placed in receivership.

The Stokes claim they were unfairly dismissed by Brian Long and Olivia Gaynor just six weeks after their company, Molana, took over ownership of Residence in July 2010.
