High Court challenge to Moriarty probe decision

BUSINESSMAN Denis O’Brien has brought a High Court challenge to the Moriarty Tribunal’s decision to hold public hearings into a purchase made by a company under his control and possible connections to former minister Michael Lowry.

A company controlled by the O’Brien family trust bought Doncaster Rovers Football Club in 1998.

Both Mr O’Brien and Mr Lowry have denied Mr Lowry had any involvement in the club’s purchase.
