SIPO clears Michael Lowry of wrongdoing in land complaints
The public ethics watchdog has officially confirmed it's dropping its investigation into Michael Lowry's land ownership.
The Standards in Public Office Commission received over 300 public complaints after it emerged Deputy Lowry had not disclosed his ownership of lands in Wigan.
But the commission now says it has investigated the incident, and cleared Deputy Lowry of any wrongdoing.
It says the lands in Wigan were worth less than €13,000, the minimum value for them to be included in Deputy Lowry's list of interests.
