Michael Lowry to face trial over incorrect tax return charge




90219491

 

Independent North Tipperary TD Michael Lowry will face trial in the Circuit Court due to matters rising from alleged Revenue offences in 2003 and 2007.

Mr. Lowry faces three charges of filing false tax returns in Dublin’s Circuit Court.

Lowry’s legal team had made applications to have the charges dismissed on a number of grounds such as unfair scrutiny, but Clonmel Circuit Court, which was presided over by Judge Thomas Teehan, ruled that the submission by Lowry’s solicitors that he had been exposed to such scrutiny was not grounds for stopping the trial.

The case has been adjourned until January 20.
