There is no mistake. The most lucrative homeless contracts are awarded to Madloch & Framewell Limited
The interesting thing about these companies is that they are owned by a fund, “New Vision Strategies Alternatives ICAV”.
Contracts: €55,567,599.60 + €53,640,400.00
Beds: 173 + 167
Term: 10 years ≈ €90 per bed per night ≈ €2,750 per bed per month or €32,200 per year.
Because they are owned by an ICAV/Fund:
Have no employees Pay no corporation tax Pay no tax on rental income
All profits flow to the ICAV/Fund which itself is owned by a company in Cayman Islands, RJM Limited.
So highly likely that almost no Irish tax will be paid whatsoever. Using these structures for taxpayer-funded homeless accommodation is like hiring a hedge fund to run a soup kitchen.

There must be a mistake – if they gave every single homeless person €45k/ annum and every homeless family €90k/ annum it would be more effective.
