Tribunal stays quiet on new Lowry evidence

The Moriarty Tribunal has said it cannot comment on what it will do with a large amount of new evidence received on the involvement of Michael Lowry in English property deals.

Mr Justice Michael Moriarty has delivered his final report but the tribunal is, technically, still in existence finalising background work.

It was recently supplied with a taped telephone conversation between Mr Lowry and land agent Kevin Phelan in which the North Tipperary TD contradicts evidence he supplied to the tribunal in 2007 via his solicitor.
