IN 2019/20 Mr Troy and developer Colin Dolan, a nephew of singer Joe Dolan, agreed a €1m social housing deal with Westmeath County Council involving a property they bought jointly for €167,000. Mr Troy sold out of the deal when he became a minister of state. As revealed by the MoS, the council tried to keep the project’s finances secret.
