Panama Papers: the Irish connections

Builders, sportsmen, bankers, solicitors, accountants.

One that the Irish Times left out.

There are firms in Ireland whose business it is to provide a gateway for their clients into the offshore world. Theses firms, such as the Pegasus Trust in Drumcondra, Dublin, are described in the Mossack files as clients. So Pegasus might act for a person or company, Irish or otherwise, who through Pegasus buys a company in an offshore location from Mossack, and then uses Mossack for the provision of nominee services.

Alternatively, an Irish individual might be a direct client of Mossack, and use it for the purposes of establishing an offshore company. Or an offshore company, for which Mossack acts, might do business in Ireland, or locate its registered office here.’
