A poster of some consequence...
What are we to make of O'Brien giving the story to the Sunday Times, and not the Sindo?

Guys, be careful.
It is a preliminary finding, not a final one, which has yet to be issued. Newspapers get articles like this read word for word by senior counsel and make sure it won't get them in court, or at least that the chances of they ending up in court are minimised. This site moved to the US to protect itself from any court actions that might arise over comments here. But posters are not covered. A poster posting from Ireland could be sued by O'Brien, the civil servants involved, the tribunal or anyone else if they allege a poster defamed them. So for your own sakes, guys, be very careful. O'Brien has a reputation for ruthlessness. You don't want to get yourself at the receipt of a legal case from him for something you posted.
Just be very very careful.

I'm not sure what ground O'Brien would be on when he himself released into the media a report, preliminary or not, describing his own relationship with Lowry as corrupt. He can hardly claim we have done his name more damage than he did himself...

CAB only do small fish. Bear in mind they're political appointees, they're hardly going to target the likes of the Drumcondra Mafia or their supporters.
If you want to end up like others in defamation trials and finding you have to pay the equivalent of ten years salary minimum to someone you defame on this site, go ahead. But anyone who has ever been there knows it is a hell of an experience in which you lose everything and end up in hock of a decade.
But if you are too dumb to realise that, go ahead, get yourself sued. But don't then come whinging to people on this site afterwards. Anyone who knows the people involved on all sides on the issue knows they throw legal threats around like confetti. Some posters don't have the cop-on to realise that they cannot say whatever they want on an internet site. Past posters on this site were already targeted by Bertie Ahern's lawyers over things posted. This site is monitored for libel by numerous people. If you think people in the tribunals have not watched things said here, you are niave. And if you think Denis O'Brien won't go after you if you say something defamatory about him, you don't know Denis O'Brien. He would sue the Virgin Mary if needs be.
Or maybe you are not grown-up enough to know that.
