Love triangle trial: Defence claims Mary Lowry 'was manipulative'

Closing speeches are continuing in the trial of Tipperary farmer Patrick Quirke who denies murdering his love rival Bobby Ryan.

Mary Lowry is manipulative and her evidence about Patrick Quirke contained lies and should not be believed, defence lawyers have told a jury at the Central Criminal Court love rival trial.

On day two of the defence closing speech, Bernard Condon SC went through the evidence of Ms Lowry, detailing what he told the six men and six women is evidence of her attempts to rewrite history.
