Nobody the wiser after 63-minute Lowry marathon

AFTER 63 minutes and 10,913 self-pitying words, the air of corruption hanging over Michael Lowry had not lifted one inch.

Despite demanding, and being granted, speaking time greater than that of the Taoiseach and the leader of the opposition combined, Lowry took us nowhere.

Well, nowhere except down to a tortured, self-obsessed dead-end of denial, during an overwrought and over-long contribution to the Dáil debate into the tribunal findings which damned him.
