Lowry: Valueless site does not need to be declared

Michael Lowry has said he will not declare a speculative property investment he retains in England until the land is rezoned and realises its value.

Dáil members are required to register any interest they have in land worth more than €13,000.

However, he said the 25-acre site he bought in Wigan, with fellow Tipperary man Liam Carroll, is “valueless” until the local council changes its existing greenbelt status.
