- Confidence in the Ceann Comhairle: Motion (1 Apr 2025)
Pádraig Mac Lochlainn: The journalist of long-standing, Sam Smyth, wrote a really powerful article for The Currency. If Members have not read it, they all should. At the end of that piece, he wrote: "Lowry broke a sacred trust with the Irish people as a government minister, as was repeatedly highlighted by the Moriarty Tribunal." Yet after all this history, Lowry has re-emerged on the political stage as a...
