TD’s hidden payment - Answer the questions Mr Lowry

Independent Dáil TD Michael Lowry has asserted — once again — that he is the victim of an “organised, concerted, and vicious media campaign” because of questions about a previously unknown payment of stg£248,264 to a land agent.

Like so many others before him in similarly difficult positions he hopes that by depicting himself as a victim he will deflect public attention from another episode in his shady business dealings. He hopes that by shooting the messenger that the message will be ignored and eventually forgotten.

It seems he would prefer if all reportage dealing with his affairs was as incomplete and sanitised as his description of himself on michaellowry.ie.
