Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein)

That begs another question. Who paid for that legal advice and how much was it? I would like to return to the whole business of payments. Denis O'Brien made a series of payments to Deputy Lowry when the Deputy was a Fine Gael Minister. A payment of £147,000 was made on behalf of Denis O'Brien via a series of offshore accounts to Deputy Lowry's Irish Nationwide account in the Isle of Man. Did Fine Gael receive any of this money? Was Deputy Lowry acting as a Minister, as a chair of trustees, or in a private capacity? Is there any way of getting clarity on this issue?
