Lawlor family furious at prostitute claims

The family of former Fianna Fáil TD Liam Lawlor, who was killed in a car crash in Moscow, today hit out at claims he may have been with a prostitute at the time of his death.

Mr Lawlor, who was jailed three times for failing to comply with the tribunal investigating planning corruption in Co Dublin, was on a business trip when he died in the crash in the Russian capital in the early hours of Saturday.
