TD: ‘A triumph of innuendo over evidence’

MICHAEL LOWRY has said his conscience is “clear” and he will not apologise for something he did not do.

The Moriarty Tribunal found that Mr Lowry as Communications Minister helped Esat boss Denis O’Brien win the second mobile phone licence in 1995 and received financial benefits in return.

But for the second time in two days the Independent TD insisted he neither interfered with the licence process nor received payments from Mr O’Brien.
