Facts speak for themselves says failed company boss

Calls for public inquiry into collapse of Street Heritage

There needs to be an independent investigation into the collapse of a development firm as the facts speak for themselves!

That’s the call from an Island businessman who insists such a move would show he was the victim of wrongdoing.

Jonathan Irving has been involved in an ultimately unsuccessful legal battle over his building company Street Heritage which was wound up in February 2010 with unpaid taxes totalling more than £182,000.

He says the firm was unnecessarily wound up and a public inquiry into the collapse – which he called for on Tynwald Day – is a must if democracy is to prevail.
