Nick O'Conor: 'Irish investors didn’t understand what they were getting into. Among his clients have been Irish investors burnt by buying property in the region through the Residence de Tourisme scheme. I speak English, French and finance but Irish investors didn’t understand what they were getting into. O’Conor has a passion for the arts and is one of the founders of the Monaco Ireland Arts Society. It’s strange to say to Irish people that you miss the bad weather, but a lot of French people like to visit Ireland for that very reason.”
