Harmless. Seems to have bought into Delaney being a good guy.

The involvement of Pillarview in assisting Delaneyâs purchase of Craffield, a five-bedroom house on eight acres of land in Aughrim that had an asking price of âŹ1.35m in 2018, has been confirmed by two separate sources with knowledge of the transaction.
Land Registry documents show that Permanent TSB registered a charge over the property, which is recorded as having an official sale price of âŹ868,000, but this includes only one acre of the land. Craffield was offered for rent by Delaney earlier this year with an asking price of âŹ3,000 a month.
Delaney is currently working in London and has said that he is sharing âa small, modest two-bedroom apartmentâ.
Pillarview, whose directors are Tom Finnan, a garda, and John Flynn, a member of the Defence Forces, had previously taken over debts registered on two plots of development land in Tipperary, which were owned by Delaney and his partners in the construction company JMPHE.
A number of sources who have been interviewed by gardai in the continuing Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement (ODCE) investigation into the FAI say they have been asked about Pillarview and Delaneyâs relationship with it.
The company was incorporated in 2014 and is registered in suites in the Beacon South Quarter in Sandyford. Its auditors are Ecovis accountants in Dublin 2. Filings by the company previously showed Karl Heffernan, a former AIB executive who briefly worked as the FAIâs commercial director, was Pillarviewâs official point of contact.
Finnan, who is a senior official with Delaneyâs boyhood club St Michaelâs in Tipperary, said last year he had resigned as a director of Pillarview. He has since signed off on the companyâs 2018 and 2019 accounts as a director along with Flynn. They are both 50% shareholders in the company.
Pillarviewâs accounts for 2019 show net assets of âŹ163,000. They state that although no formal resolution has been passed, it is anticipated the directors will arrange for the âorderly wind-upâ of the company within 12 months of the end of its last accounting period.
Delaney has until January 11 to complete a review of more than 250,000 FAI emails that were seized by the ODCE as part of its inquiry. His lawyers have complained that Delaney is âoperating on a shoestringâ compared with the resources available to the FAI and ODCE.
Judge Leonie Reynolds will then rule on whether any of the records are legally privileged, meaning they cannot be released to ODCE investigators.
Looks another non story to me.
