Sam McBride: The mystery of Ian Paisley Jr’s office – unpaid rates, red letters and court action (Part 1)

The BelTel

When Ian Paisley Jr lost his parliamentary seat last July, it was the end of an era. Once Westminster’s most expensive MP, Paisley Jr had built a political career on the legacy of his famous father – but it wasn’t without scandal. A Belfast Telegraph investigation has uncovered some strange financial dealings around his constituency office, which is now owned by the unnamed representative of a dead man. Authorities also had to repeatedly threaten court action to secure payment of the rates bill for his office in Ballymena.

In part 1 of a special investigation, Sam McBride joins Olivia Peden.
