Fears for €3.8m charity donations

A sum of €3.8m in donations made to some of the world’s best known charitable organisations through a Dublin-based IT service provider has been dissipated, it has been claimed before the High Court.

The money was given by donors to charities including the Red Cross and Save the Children via an online platform service provided by Pembroke Dynamic Internet Services Ltd, Upper Pembroke St, Dublin 2, whose managing director is businessman Peter Conlon, with an address at St Mary’s Rd, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4, Rossa Fanning told the court.

Mr Conlon, aged 63, has “gone missing”, said counsel.
