The Daily PollMICHAEL LOWRY will address the Dáil this afternoon on issues raised in the Moriarty Report, which found that he was “far from being a disinterested minister” and had “secured the winning” of the 1995 mobile phone licence for Denis O’Brien’s Esat Digifone.
Despite Enda Kenny’s statement that “in an ideal world he should resign”, a defiant Lowry has insisted he will not be resigning his seat and that “nobody will decide when I leave this house. Michael Lowry is not going anywhere.”
What do you think should happen next? As the law stands, the Taoiseach has no right to force a member of the Dáil to go – but should Kenny make it clear that he wants Lowry to step down? Should Lowry resign of his own accord?
Or do you believe that Lowry still has the overwhelming support of his constituency and should be allowed to serve them?
