Property trust event may be last ‘signing-in’

Dozens of people attended a small hotel in Wicklow yesterday for what they were told may be the last signing-in session for a controversial and quasi-spiritual, property trust.

The event was moved to the Bel Air hotel in Ashford at the last minute after a notary public in Cork, Dermot Conway, cut his ties with the group and the organisers had to relocate to another county.

The trust has attracted developers, farmers, and businessmen with debts on large property portfolios.
