Letters naming Lowry as owner of property ‘mischievous forgeries’

A FORMER adviser to Denis O’Brien has claimed letters indicating that TD Michael Lowry was the owner of a property in Britain were forgeries and drawn up mischievously.

Aidan Phelan told the Moriarty Tribunal the letters handed over by an Irish Times journalist were written in order to mislead the tribunal.

The financial adviser was being quizzed yesterday about two different versions of the same letters, one indicating Mr Lowry was owner of the property, the other stating Mr Phelan was the owner.
