THE son of former Fianna Fáil TD Liam Lawlor has described inaccurate newspaper reports about the circumstances of his father’s death as “a shot at the open wound of his family”.

A UKRAINIAN legal assistant and translator, injured in the car crash that killed Liam Lawlor, was last night being comforted by friends back in her adopted city of Prague.

THE widow of Liam Lawlor was last night considering apologies from two senior executives of the newspaper that published the most prominent false account of her husband’s death amid public furore at reports he died in the company of a teenage prostitute.

SENIOR executives at the Sunday Independent newspaper yesterday said ‘Sorry’ for publishing a false account of Liam Lawlor’s death, but were warned by a family member any apology was “too little, too late”.

The Tánaiste Mary Harney has hit out at media coverage of Liam Lawlor's death.
