- Tribunals of Inquiry (11 May 2010)
Michael Lowry: I have a few questions on the issue of costs. I can speak with some experience on this issue as I have been the subject of the tribunal for 13 years. I remind the Taoiseach that the Moriarty tribunal is supposed to be an inquiry chaired by an independent chairman, which is what was established by the Oireachtas.

I have 13 years of experience in dealing with this tribunal and have come to the opinion that this quasi-judicial legal farce has been out of control for years. The Oireachtas has stood back from it and has allowed it to...

Were social welfare recipients involved, they would have been harassed and hounded to ensure the moneys were repaid. I have come to the conclusion that the officials in the Department of the Taoiseach have allowed this tribunal to become untouchables, particularly the barristers involved. I also wish...
