I understand from Enterprise Ireland that the companies concerned received grant funding from Enterprise Ireland.

Enterprise Ireland paid grant funding to the companies in question totalling €202,005.83. These grants were awarded over a period beginning in 1997 and concluding in 2012 under programmes covering areas such as Research and Development and Capital grants.

The grant inspection and payment process includes a comprehensive review of each grant claim, such as achieving certain milestones, against approved projects to ensure all expenditures claimed are in line with the original approval and the financial and associated records of the grantee are in order.
