Solicitor ‘totally wrong’ to suggest Lowry was involved in Doncaster deal

AN English solicitor said he was “totally wrong” to have suggested in a letter that former Fine Gael minister Michael Lowry was involved in the purchase of Doncaster Rovers football club in 1998.

Christopher Vaughan told the Moriarty Tribunal yesterday that the letter implicating Mr Lowry in the purchase of the club by a company controlled by businessman Denis O’Brien was never actually sent because it was “a nonsense”.

The letter referred to Mr Lowry being “totally involved” in the deal.
