Full coverage: Davy

Davy looks to have maximised returns to shareholders by selling itself off in three parts. In the biggest deal, Bank of Ireland is to buy Davy's wealth management and capital markets business for €440m but retains strong protection against risk.

Brian McKiernan and five other former executives are on the exclusive list of those who both benefited from the infamous deal that saw Davy fined €4m, and now stand to reap rewards from the resulting sale of the firm.

In a shareholder oppression suit, former top partner at Davy David Shubotham claims assets like Citywest and the Sugar Club on Leeson Street were transferred out of DHP at a significant undervalue.

Property developer Patrick Kearney is suing Davy over the Anglo bond scandal. The developer claims he was assured by former Davy boss Anthony Garry that the broker had no link to the buyer.

Kyran McLaughlin resigned as Davy’s deputy chairman over his participation in a 2014 bond deal where the firm failed to meet its conflict of interest obligations. At the same time, he was personally investing in companies targeted by a Davy client.

Davy told a client it would get him the best possible price. Startling new emails reveal how Davy spun the deal to Patrick Kearney, portraying how it was acting on his behalf while secretly selling his assets to 16 gilded Davy executives.

Brian McKiernan, Kyran McLaughlin and Barry Nangle left their management and board positions at J&E Davy last week but remain central to the stockbroking firm's ownership and control through a web of companies stretching to the Isle of Man and Gibraltar.

By withdrawing its support for Davy, the NTMA has precipitated the closure of the broker's bond desk. But it has also left Davy exposed to an exodus of clients.

In 2015, Tom Lyons exposed a startling deal involving Davy Stockbrokers and a client over Anglo bonds. Following a damning Central Bank investigation into the scandal last week, we have continued to focus on the deal and the Davy executives behind it. This is a portal to all our coverage.

Davy will be hoping this blows over. Hopefully, it won’t. This is a bona fide scandal. Talk of cultural reform is all well and good, but it is hard to believe and hard to stomach.
