Well-known GAA family deny involvement in Dundrum House Hotel asylum seekers debacle

A famous GAA family has denied any involvement in the ownership of Dundrum House Hotel following reports circulating online that a company set up in their name was the owner of the property.

The Brogan GAA family in Dublin have come under scrutiny from users of social media platform X (formerly Twitter) after a news article posted online claimed that a company set up by the family are the current owners of the hotel.

Dundrum House Hotel in county Tipperary has seen protests taking place at the gates of the hotel for a number of months over 80 asylum seekers being relocated to the facility.

However, any involvement in the ownership of the hotel was denied last night by Bernard Brogan on his official X account.

The seven-time All-Ireland winner posted saying: “Neither myself nor any of the Brogan family are involved in this hotel or any other hotels!”

Dundrum House Hotel has been a hot topic of discussion for some weeks following the announcement of plans to move IPAS applicants into the facility.

The move happened yesterday, with buses of asylum seekers arriving at the hotel, passing by protestors who have been stationed at the gates of the hotel since May.

Dundrum was trending on X last night following the move, with over 8,000 posts being made on the platform.
