Lowry’s house raided by Revenue

The leaking of details about a raid on the home of tax cheat Michael Lowry has been criticised by his solicitor, who said it is part of a 20-year campaign to damage the politician.

The former Fine Gael minister was at his home in Holycross yesterday. However, he did not make any public comment about searches by tax officials at his house, his constituency office, and a separate business premises in Dublin.

Michael Collins is representing the Tipperary North TD in a new High Court dispute over an outstanding €1m accountancy bill.
