Over the next 4 years Pauric identified a need for further expansion to provide Mortgage Brokering and Auctioneering to complement his growing Life and Pensions business. In 1997 Tommy Breheny, well known in GAA circles in Sligo and with over 10 years’ experience with Irish Permanent, the then leading mortgage provider in Ireland, joined Pauric as a partner with responsibility to front the Auctioneering and Mortgage Broker division. The company was at this time renamed Oates Conlon Breheny. In 1998 Sinead Walsh joined the business as Rental Manager to the newly formed Property Management division and has developed the business into Sligo’s leading Property Management provider where she continues this role today as Associate Director.
