Revenue case against Lowry firm thrown out

A judge has thrown out a Revenue prosecution brought against a company owned by TD Michael Lowry because a court summons was served at an out-of-date address.

Judge John O’Neill ruled yesterday that he was making “no order” in relation to criminal proceedings against Garuda Ltd, a refrigeration company owned by Mr Lowry, an Independent TD for Tipperary North, which trades under the name of Streamline Enterprises.

The prosecution at Dublin District Court had been taken by the DPP on behalf of the Revenue Commissioners.
