Following statements from Tipperary North Independent TD Michael Lowry on the ongoing investigation into the findings of the Moriarty Tribunal, the public have been having their say on X/Twitter to the 'kingmaker' serving as a key person in government formation talks.
One person on X posted: "Are the streets of Tipperary paved with gold or something? How the hell does this criminal keep getting elected?"
Many X/Twitter users expressed shock, disgust and unease at Lowry's continued involvement in government formation talks, some questioned why his Tipperary North constituents continue to vote for him.

One X user said: "Michael Lowry won't be getting a ministry, so what is his constituency deal? Resurrection of the supercasino plan? Will this be Nenagh Castle Street by 2027?"
Another posted: "Lowry walks away after questions about Moriarty Tribunal, says media has been ‘trying to undermine’ him (via@thejournal_ie) Is that the accountability the people of Tipperary voted for? Walking away when asked a legitimate question."
