    Just cast 5 yes votes in a row, thought these polls were limited to one vote per poster.

    Lowry dont give a fup, now he wants the taxpayers to pay his 7m legal costs or he will go to the European Court, time for him to be told get on with it and stop mouthing off, better still get Denis O'Brien to pay his bill or pass the hat around those dopes in Tipp who vote him in.


    Perhaps Lowry's solicitors shouls crack on and mark Judgement against, then bankrupt him and have him removed from the Dail, one less prlck.


    How long before he asks the State to fund his and Dr.Quirkeys white elephant of a SuperCasino

    I see that Toerag junior has just been unanimously elected "Mayor" of North Tipp by his fellow Councillors.


    Rather like cockroaches, bovine brucellosisand venereal diseases, the LowryandHealy-Rae viruses appear to be ineradicable.

    This is the issue when the wailing from Lowry will rise in tempo, read somewhere he is looking for about 7m in costs, if the State does not cough up, will his good pal, Denis, sort him out.


    Kenny should sort out any FG councillors co-operating with Team Lowry, how low can they go.

    What's the story with gombeen voters in Munster. Lowery, O'Dea, Healy Rae and Cork gave the highest concentration of votes to Fianna Fail ffs. The sooner Munster is partitioned from the rest of the country the better.

    Update on this got a reply from Coonan Kelly didn't bother his ars* (delusions of gradeur that man he needs to remember he scrapped in last at the GE a fact I will remind Labour of during the Presidential election).


    Apparently a pact at the last local elections to oust FF in North Tipp which will mean 2 FG, 2 Labour and 1 Team Lowry mayor of North Tipp over the term.

    Journalist Smyth awarded legal costs against TD Lowry

    Thursday, October 06, 2011 - 10:48 AM

    Tens of thousands of euro in legal costs were today awarded to journalist and broadcaster Sam Smyth against Michael Lowry following Smyth’s successful defence of a defamation action against him by the Co Tipperary TD.

    Judge Margaret Heneghan told barrister Eoin McCullough,S.C., counsel for Smyth, that Mr Smyth was entitled to his costs.

    In January last the judge refused Lowry a declaration that he had been defamed by Smyth on TV3’s 'Tonight with Vincent Browne' programme and in an Irish Independent article.

    Lowry, of Holy Cross, Thurles, had sought the declaration under the 2009 Defamation Act which allows for a legal short-cut by way of summary judgment on the contention that Smyth had no possible defence to Lowry’s claim.

    Judge Heneghan in January said she was satisfied Mr Lowry had not established that Mr Smyth had no defence to the allegations of defamation. Mr Lowry has appealed her decision to the High Court.

    The case centres on comments made by Smyth concerning the McCracken and Moriarty tribunals and their inquiries into matters relating to Lowry’s finances. Lowry had alleged Smyth had made false and defamatory remarks about him in an Irish Independent article and again on the TV3 current affairs show.

    Lowry claimed the article and a comment by Smyth on television that Lowry had been “caught with his hand in the till” suggested he was a thief, a corrupt politician, dishonest, untrustworthy and unfit to have been a Minister and a TD.

    Smyth, of The Gasworks, Barrow Street, Dublin, had stood over his comments and argued in court they were true and based on his honest opinion and constituted fair and reasonable publication in matters of public interest.

    Fair play to Judge Heneghan, another well aimed kick in the town halls for Lowry, every time he moves away from Denis O'Brien's umbrella he suffers, lets hope a criminal and CAB investigation gets under way soon as the Keystones are reviewing the Moriarty Report.

    O'Brien sought to influence matters at INM and lost a director because of it, he will not like this result either.

    Lowry is an FFer in everything but name, the vote for Gallagher in North Tipp endorses it, this Unicorn PR company seems to be a link on all things Lowry.

    Kenny should put the boot in him bigtime, he is a complete maverick in the Dail, his peers have told him to fup off to no avail, get Shatter to do something useful, find a way to kick him out and into the Joy, maybe his legal costs around Moriarty could be the conduit.

    No chance. Shatter is now looking for ways to get back at the Irish people who voted NO in the referendum.

    Can't trust the Irish people not to vote for Lowry again. Can't trust them not to vote for all the corrupt and incompetent politicians. We shouldn't need others to bail us out because of stupidity but I am afraid all the evidence is that Irish people cannot be trusted to do what is best for them.

    The State will probably pick up the legal costs. If it does it signifies that a revolution is required. Unfortunately the incredibly conservative Irish don't do change. Just like in the 1920's they'd replace one shower of dirty f-ckers with another slightly worse shower or possibly slightly better shower as happened earlier this year.

    His defamation action has failed

    10/02/2012 - 13:21:06
    The High Court has this afternoon dismissed an appeal from Independent TD Michael Lowry in a defamation case against journalist Sam Smyth.

    The case centred around an article written by the journalist in the Irish Independent and comments he made on TV3.

    On the channel's 'Tonight with Vincent Browne' programme, Mr Smyth said that Michael Lowry had been caught "with hand in till".

    In defamation proceedings against the journalist, Mr Lowry said it meant or implied he was a thief, a corrupt politician, and unfit to be a TD or Government Minister.

    Mr Smyth said the comments were an honest opinion and true in their natural and ordinary meaning.

    Mr Lowry was refused summary relief in the Circuit Court under the 2009 Defamation Act over this and an Irish Independent article.

    The court found that he had failed to show Mr Smyth had raised no defence to the action, a decision that has been upheld today following an appeal to the High Court President.

    What was it that the late great Hunter S Thompson wrote about RM Nixon - that his ears should be nailed to the back bumper of a 1970 Chevy and be dragged through the streets of Washington DC. Sounds good to me - the cheap chiseller. God only knows what his interference, or attempted interference in the mobile licence award process will cost us. Whether his ham fisted efforts to distort the process worked is not relevant - he TRIED to do it.

    Lowry is feeling the heat, he will be hoping someone shoots their mouth off ala Harney/Charlie, it worked before.

    Next exposure should be the dirty deals with Bertie.

    The sad part of it all is that it almost makes an axiom of the idea that politics are local. Listened to Tipp FM about two years ago and heard the scoundrel "interviewed". He had so many little things going for people here and there, even for deceased coalminers from Kilkenny and their families. It was quite incredible to hear how much PR he got in in about ten minutes.

    Most people will soon forget that Bertie bankrupted the country. In fact, quite a few have already done so while others try to pretend it never happened. People don't vote on these big issues, never did. They vote for the guy who got the poor oul aunt a bed in Naynagh hospital - one of his big issues, the hospital that is. They forget the fifteen people that were put back another notch on the waiting list. This is politics in Ireland and since it was formed, Fianna Fail have excelled in taking advantage of this and indeed perpetuating its continuance. Lowry is their match.

    Thanks for that link.

    Unfortunately there's not much chance that SIPO will do anything to him over his failure to include the loan in his Register of Property Interests. (Although, his former constituency rival Michael Smith is a member of SIPO so maybe he'll be inspired to do a bit of kicking.)

    But IBRC should definitely try to bankrupt the f*cker and, if they succeed, then he'll have to resign his Dáil seat.

    From p.ie

    "Well, it seems to be one of Denis O'Brien's core competencies that he is succesfully able to anticipate government actions, regulations and decisions. He seems to lean on this in pretty much all his busness activities which always seem to have some significant government input in the form of regulation, licencing or contracts. Both here and abroad".



    And there's more


    "It's a real skill alright, and all the countries where he applies that skills seem to have weak corrupt elected representatives in common also - what a coincidence".


    Would DOB have been Lowry's secret investor, the pair have form together, however personally think Lowry just wanted a License and would have been off to the big smoke with it, he outlayed very little on land acquisitions just took cheap out options.
