Well-heeled residents of Dublin's Dartmouth Square have a landlord they didn't know about. Westmeath businessman Noel O'Gara has revealed that he is the owner of the ground rent attached to about 20 properties which means that, if one is sold, he's entitled to a cut of the proceeds. Mr O'Gara, who says he bought his interest in the houses "for a song", stands to make hundreds of thousands of euro if there are any sales of the properties or part of the sites... The controversial property speculator, who came to the public's attention earlier this year when it emerged he purchased Dartmouth Square park for less than €10,000, bought the ground rents six years ago... Mr O'Gara says he might consider sending out bills for back rent to residents already furious at his actions in relation to the park.
