Micheal Martin declines to comment on 'integrity' of Michael Lowry as file sent to DPP 14 years after Moriarty tribunal report

In 2011, the Moriarty Tribunal concluded that Michael Lowry facilitated Denis O'Brien in acquiring the State's second mobile phone license in 1995, raising questions of corruption.

The Tánaiste has declined to comment on Michael Lowry's integrity due to the possibility of ongoing legal proceedings, demonstrating the sensitivity surrounding the case.

After 14 years, An Garda Síochána has forwarded a file to the DPP regarding the Moriarty tribunal's findings, indicating a potential shift in legal action.

This recent development highlights the ongoing complexities of political corruption cases in Ireland and the implications for those involved in past inquiries.
