FF will attempt to force Lowry out of office

FIANNA FÁIL is set to attempt to force disgraced Independent TD Michael Lowry from office by bringing a motion in the Dáil for him to resign.

Micheál Martin last night called on political parties to back the move while also proposing a forum for sitting ministers to answer questions about the Moriarty Tribunal findings.

The FF leader also challenged Taoiseach Enda Kenny over his role in Fine Gael and fundraising for the party when the Esat mobile phone licence was awarded in the mid-1990s.
