Lowry jury to continue deliberations
Summary
The appeal of Michael Lowry TD, concerning four charges of filing incorrect tax returns between August 2002 and August 2007 in relation to a sum of Stg £248,624 received by his company, Garuda Ltd, and one charge of failing to keep a proper set of accounts between August 28, 2002 and August 3, 2007, is ongoing. The charges allege that Lowry arranged for a payment of Stg £248,624 to be made to a third party through the Glebe Trust, resulting in the payment not appearing in the company accounts for that year. It is further alleged that the accounts were falsified in 2007 to reflect that the payment was received in 2006. Lowry and Garuda Ltd pleaded not guilty to these charges. The appeal is currently at the stage of deliberation, with the jury having retired for the evening after failing to reach a verdict on the second day of deliberations. The matter is to be adjourned until tomorrow morning for the jury to resume their deliberations.
