He first started his business career with his family's construction firm Flexi Group in 1998, which was originally founded in 1988 by Ciaran's father, Christopher Maguire. Maguire created the Irish company, Flash Developments, which sought to develop in resorts in Boa Vista, Cape Verde, St. Lucia and Bequia.〔Sheehy, Clodagh. "Magnate Plans €2bn Sun Paradise", ''The Herald'', Dublin, 6 October 2008.〕 In 2010 Flash Developments went into liquidation〔http://www.republicpr.ie/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/30.5.10Flash1.jpg〕 and the High Court ordered a probe into the company's affairs after evidence emerged that the firm used deposits from investors to finance the running of the company and that the company did not own land in Cape Verder where it proposed to build apartments. After this Ciaran Maguire then set up the Ciaran Maguire Group. In March 2010, legal action was taken against Ciaran Maguire to wind up the company by a creditor.〔Noonan, Laura. "Cape Verde firm faces a winding up petition", ''The Irish Independent'', Dublin, 11 March 2010. http://www.independent.ie/business/irish/cape-verde-firm-facing-a-windup-petition-2095088.html〕 In May 2010, a liquidator was appointed to the development company Flash Developments, through which Ciaran Maguire was promoting property in Cape Verde. No accounts had been filed since June 2008.〔http://www.insolvencyjournal.ie/archive-details/10-05-19/Appointment_of_Official_Liquidator_Flash_Developments_Limited.aspx〕 A court case followed on June 2010 where the High Court in Dublin heard that the liquidator of Flash Developments Ltd, Kieran Wallace, was pursuing an investigation that the company may have taken deposits for villas and apartments when it didn't have the authority to do so.〔http://www.insolvencyjournal.ie/archive-details/10-06-23/High_Court_round_up.aspx〕 In June 2012, it was reported in ''The Sunday Business Post'' that two hundred people that bought property in Cape Verde via Ciaran Maguire had instigated legal action. The High Court in Dublin heard that investors believed Maguire had used their deposits to finance the running of his firm and that he had not title to the land in Cape Verde. The Court ordered an investigation.

As well 17 British and Irish investors taking legal in Ireland, the article also stated that 40 British investors had hired an Anglo-Portuguese law firm based in London to recover their deposits.〔http://s1002.beta.photobucket.com/user/ciaranmaguire/media/Phoenix17-06-10.jpg.html〕 Recently Maguire has been attempting to sell the Cape Verde investment in China and commence a new development in St Lucia.〔http://www.effcobuild.eu/ciaran-maguire-grou-fond-bay-st-lucia-caribbean.html〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ciaran Maguire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
