Weisz career profile: Troubled start to strong business

From a troubled start in the late 1970s, Ronald Weisz has built a strong business here that, despite concerns raised in the Dáil, was vetted and licensed by the Central Bank in 2009.

He came here via England but always kept in contact with his roots on Long Island.

Weisz’s first subprime lending company, the Wise Finance Company, began life in the late 1980s in the control of a firm in Panama.
