‘Michael Lowry subjected to unprecedented State scrutiny for 20 years’
An article alleging Mr Lowry passed a note in the Dáil to Taoiseach Enda Kenny, seeking a “crony” appointment, was part of a sustained campaign against him by the Sunday Independent, said Patrick Treacy, counsel for Mr Lowry.
There was also an “utterly wrong” and “deeply humiliating” search, involving eight Revenue officials, of Mr Lowry’s Tipperary home, which included going through his bedroom, clothing, and cutlery, counsel said.
