Oireachtas awaits legal advice on Lowry complaints

The Oireachtas is awaiting legal advice on whether a high-level committee will investigate complaints about Independent TD Michael Lowry and land he owns.

Over 300 complaints have been received by Kieran Coughlan, clerk of the Dáil, regarding land the Tipperary North TD owns in Wigan, England.

The Oireachtas told the Irish Examiner that following an unprecedented number of public complaints, Mr Coughlan was awaiting legal advice on whether to forward the matter to the committee on members’ interests.
