Sadly, there are a lot of predators in the world of publishing. I want to help people in Ireland to become aware of who to avoid in the Irish publishing sector.

Maurice Sweeney, yet again, proves to everyone that he is nothing more than a conman, and that his word means nothing. @IrishWritersCtr
@wcorklitfest why are you supporting him?#menmabooks #irishpublisher #fraud #swindler #conman instagram.com/p/DXcoiYMiKt7/…

The conman continues. Despite claims that @muiris47 had taken on the loan, he continues to financially ruin those who get involved with him. @mosweeney1 #rteswindlers @IrishWritersCtr instagram.com/p/DWWNWyZCPZ4/…

Pseudo activism. They aren't committed to any change. They are just self-centred egotistical narcissists.

When I met @muiris47 from Menma Books, I was hurting. He used my vulnerabilities for his own financial gain. I won't be silenced. The truth is NOT defamatory. #fraud #conman @PublishingIRL @IrishWritersCtr

This is the last time I saw my mum before she died. Within 6 weeks of moving to Ireland, I had to return to Australia for her funeral. @muiris47 of Menma Books ripped off their hard earned money. @joeliveline @MiriamOCal #ConMumNetflix instagram.com/p/DIoGk3xIWWJ/…

Hi @joeliveline could you please read this? This is the man you are currently promoting in Rosita's book. As you can imagine, it's been a hard road for me to be preyed upon in this way. I can't understand why feminists collude with him. @MiriamOCal please help. I'm not the only 1

After moving to Ireland, both my parents died within a very short time. When my father died, I was early in recovery from substance abuse, was living on my own in a little bedsit and we had gone into lockdown due to covid. I relied heavily on my AA sponsor @muiris47 .

The grief of losing both parents is immense. I often find myself thinking about the days long gone, and I hear my mum crying as she wonders how they'll pay the mortgage. How my dad worked away from home. My inheritance was swindled from me by @muiris47 of Menma Books. Predator.

The truth is NOT defamatory. @muiris47 of Menma Books financially, emotionally, and mentally abused me after preying on me as my AA sponsor. He then lied to many, submitted fraudulent paperwork to the accountant, and continued to abuse me through his lies.

Shame on @muiris47 for abusing this vulnerable woman. Shame on those who support this predatory behaviour. @fionapettit71 @MercierBooks @rtenews

This little girl was sexually, emotionally and mentally abused by many. When she reached out for help, Maurice Sweeney took advantage of her vulnerabilities and abused her. @laura_bates__ @irishwriterscentre @publishing_ireland #sexualabuse

I can't private message you back, as you blocked my ability to do so. As a courtesy to you and your hard time, I'll not tag you in future posts. I know the pain of losing both parents, and this is why I'm angry and will continue to speak out against your cousin.

Maurice took advantage of knowing my pain and used it against me for his own financial gain. I'll continue to speak out and say the truth. As I said, it is NOT defamatory. I speak my truth. I have all the proof required to demonstrate his manipulation, lies, fraud, etc.

The truth is NOT defamatory. Maurice sweeney, as my AA sponsor, preyed upon my vulnerabilities for his own financial gain. I could continue, but instead, I'll say, if I am taken to court with these claims, I look forward to the truth being told.

If Maurice Sweeney was Jeffrey Epstein, is Rosita Sweetman Ghislaine Maxwell? #Feminism #irish #fraud #irishpublisher #Abuser #abuse #Epstein

How could @muiris47 from Menma Books do this to another person? He left me with nothing but a business debt. He has the business, the clients, my inheritance. No integrity. @MercierBooks @PublishingIRL @IrishTimes @OBrienPress

How could anyone be so abusive? Maurice Sweeney owes me my inheritance. He is a predator and a fraud. #irishpublisher #irishwriter @IrishTimes @rtenews instagram.com/p/DHD0Rbyouh0/…

If @muiris47 used a business VAT for personal reasons, would this be considered TAX fraud? I ask because he let @keynescentre use the business VAT. Why would a university need to use a business VAT when they aren't part of the business? @Independent_ie @IrishTimes @MiriamOCal

Why did @muiris47 use my business to publish @keynescentre books? My business was NOT the publisher, yet he fraudulently used my business VAT to print your books. He personally gained from this fraudulent behaviour, not the business. @IrishTimes @Independent_ie @rtenews #fraud

Today, I speak out. @muiris47 is an abusive man who owes me over 70,000. I am not the only person he cheated and lied to. By colluding with this man, is @rositasweetman naive or a fraud?

Why does Maurice Sweeney constantly start a business and then start another and another and another? @muiris47
