Michael Lowry’s legal team preparing appeal

Michael Lowry has said his legal team is already preparing an appeal against the High Court’s decision to dismiss the independent TD’s challenge to the Moriarty Tribunal’s decision to only award him one third of his legal costs.

In a statement last night, he said: “As I have already stated, I have never accepted the findings issued by the Moriarty Tribunal as they were not grounded on any evidence or facts presented throughout the length of its sittings.

“It is very concerning that the judgment today erroneously claims that the tribunal had made a finding that I had been engaged in bribery and perjury.
