A “Michael Lowrey” – with an E – took ownership of a new home before selling to independent TD Michael Lowry’s daughter for €50,000. Lowry’s refrigeration company later bought the house from his daughter for €290,000 and remains the property's current owner.

In March 1972 state forces in the north of Ireland arrested and interned a young man in Long Kesh. There,  alongside dozens of other prisoners – mostly Catholics and Irish republicans – he endured imprisonment without trial.

The Department of Defence has admitted it’s agreed to keep its interactions with lobbyists for international arms manufacturers “confidential”.
