Moriarty debate set to continue later

The Dáil debate on the Moriarty Tribunal report continues later today.

Last night Independent TD Michael Lowry spent an hour addressing the report in the Dáil insisting he'd done nothing wrong.

He accused the tribunal of ignoring evidence and conducting a "show trial".

And he challenged the Criminal Assets Bureau or anyone else to investigate him, saying they would not find a money trail because it does not exist.

Later today Taoiseach Enda Kenny will answer questions about Fine Gael fundraising as raised in the report.

Last night he insisted the culture of politics of the past must be changed.

"When that culture included business and banking it contaminated our country," the Taoiseach said.

"It divided our society and it diminished our Republic.

"That contamination, that division and that diminution must and will end," he said.
