Moriarty Tribunal: What was it and what has Michael Lowry got to do with it?

Denis O'Brien said he has also been informed no charges will be brought against him, and that 'evidence to support such claims of criminal wrongdoing never existed'

Investigations into Michael Lowry focused on the awarding of Ireland’s second mobile phone licence in 1996.

On Tuesday evening, 15 years after the Moriarty Tribunal delivered its final report, it was confirmed there would be no charges brought against Independent TD Michael Lowry or businessman Denis O'Brien over its findings.

Gardaí began their investigation 14 years ago, with a file being sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) last January. The case is now closed.
