Lowry renews his attack on Moriarty Tribunal

FORMER minister Michael Lowry last night renewed his fierce attack on the official probe into corruption allegations surrounding the sale of mobile phone licences last night.

The independent Tipperary North deputy accused the Moriarty Tribunal of acting improperly by not informing him until now that it had interviewed two officials from the Attorney General’s office in October 2002.

Mr Lowry said he was “shocked and appalled” that the testimony from the two officials, which he claimed support his version of events, was not revealed sooner.
