Normally, Slumleaks would profile the slumlord to get their name out there. Unfortunately, we have a very mysterious landlord this time around – they haven’t even told the tenants his or her name.

But, this doesn’t discourage us – the gang love a good mystery.

In this spirit, we’ve got three prime suspects and here’s what we’re going on so far:

Who is Suspect A?

Suspect A is none other than PJ O’Donnell. PJ O’Donnell is the son of Pat O’Donnell, famous for founding Pat O’Donnell & Company in 1970 to bring affordable farm and construction machinery to the masses on both sides of the border.

PJ followed his father into the family business, but he has ambitions beyond being a tractor tycoon. Since 2007, the company has been steadily diversifying into electric vehicles, the management of holding companies…. and property.

PJ is the director of no fewer than two companies in the property industry – Rossdarrig Partnership (est. 1st May 2007) and POD Marine Limited (est. 4th December 2017).

PJ and his father have an admirably close professional relationship, and are both listed as directors for at least six companies including the original business.

PJ has been spotted by our papparazzi entering and leaving 38 + 39 Summerhill Parade.

Who is Suspect B?

Suspect B is an estate agent with a million-dollar smile called Myles O’Donoghue. Myles is an estate agent who is the founder and director of the imaginatively named Myles O’Donoghue Properties Ltd.

Myles enters our story twice: the first was in an email to the tenants, sent by the mysterious Golden Rose Accomodation Limited. The email claimed that Myles’ estate agency would return the deposit, in co-operation with the mystery landlord.

Granted, ADM has misspelt his name (Myles O’Donnell instead of O’Donoghue). Myles could say we’re jumping to conclusions here and he’d have a point.

This defence wouldn’t quite hold for the second example, in which he was spotted entering the property on Summerhill Parade. Nobody has such a perfect doppelganger in both name and appearance.

Who is Suspect C?

We now come to the most glamourous of our suspects, whose appeal is only helped by the air of mystery which she cultivates.

She is known simply as “Jo”, and has been handling the payouts with the tenants. We don’t know anything else about her other than this photo and that she’s been the principal point of contact which the tenants have with their landlord.

Could she be hiding in plain sight?

So, how do all these players come together at 38 + 39 Summerhill Parade?

Jo has been on the property in recent days in her capacity as the tenants’ point of contact. Beforehand, Myles and PJ were spotted entering the property together – check the bald head next to Myles in this photo. PJ’s even wearing an identical coat.

They’re also neighbours – this maps the distance between Myles and PJ’s Dad’s house.

This second map shows the distance between Myles and PJ’s house.

It’s important to get to know your neighbours but, it’s hard to accept that three people with a strong commercial interest in property who all live within 10 minutes walk of one another have never had a conversation about it.

When you consider that Myles and PJ have been spotted together entering the property, the plot thickens – especially when you factor in the enigmatic Jo.

Slumleaks will be puzzling over this one for a little while yet.

Stay tuned for more.
