Lowry’s silence - Dáil in dark on land deal

Today we report on another politician who has ignored rules put in place to protect our parliament, our political process and, most of all, our democracy.

We report that Tipperary poll-topper Michael Lowry has not, as he is obliged to, declared to the Dáil development land he owns in England.

The land has been registered in Mr Lowry’s and a partner’s name since 2003.

Though it is easy to understand why one more story like this might not be the spark that finally provokes the revolution, it is still impossible to understand why there will probably be no meaningful consequences for the offender.
