Pearse Doherty (Donegal, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

Go raibh maith ag an gCeann Comhairle. It is now over four weeks since I put to the Taoiseach serious claims about Deputy Michael Lowry's evidence to the Moriarty tribunal. So much for the Deputy's huffing and puffing about coming before the Dáil and making a statement. We have not heard a peep from him since. He is one of yours, Taoiseach. He is a Government-supporting TD and one the Taoiseach is going to great lengths to accommodate. Did the Taoiseach ask Deputy Lowry if he had 57 meetings on the Doncaster deal, including here in Leinster House and at Doncaster Rovers Football Club, a deal that he swore to the tribunal he had no involvement in? Did the Taoiseach ask him if he went to a rural farm in August 2002, as claimed by one of those present, to burn original documents pertaining to the deals that are at the heart of the Moriarty Tribunal investigations? Has Deputy Lowry explained to the Taoiseach how his accountant made two separate payments that originated in Gibraltar to the person who was arranging the Doncaster deal - payments that were never disclosed to the tribunal? I am going to continue to ask these questions and others until we have answers. The Deputy is one of yours. He is a Government-supporting TD. Has the Taoiseach asked him any of these questions in the past four weeks?
