Valerie O’Reilly (top) and Michael Lowry’s note to Enda Kenny
“Taoiseach, would you please consider re-appointing Valerie O’Reilly to the board of the NTA.[National Transport Authority] A woman, bright, intelligent and not bad looking either! Michael Lowry.”
Meanwhile, readers may recall how former Environment Minister Phil Hogan met Independent TD Michael Lowry on March 28, 2011, just days after the Moriarty Tribunal found the actions of Mr Lowry were “profoundly corrupt to a degree that was nothing short of breathtaking”.
Apart from the two TDs, the meeting involved representatives from Tipperary waste management company, Filmco Ltd – Jack O’Reilly and Edmond O’Reilly.
In April 2012, Juno McEnroe, in the Irish Examiner, reported:
“Jack O’Reilly, a director in Filmco, is uncle to Valerie O’Reilly, media adviser for Mr Lowry. Edmond O’Reilly, another director in Filmco, is Valerie’s brother. Ms O’Reilly confirmed the directors were her relatives. She said she worked part time for Mr Lowry but added: “I had no involvement with that meeting and was not aware of it until recent days.” She handled public relations for Mr Lowry’s 2007 election campaign as well as media queries for him after Moriarty was published.”
Company directors have ties to Lowry (Juno McEnroe, Irish Examiner, April 6, 2012)

They certainly are.
JP Vaughan writes to tell us:
Some good news for Irish Indie games. Two Irish game devs [Galway based Rocket Rainbow and Dublin based Gambrinous] have had their games [Hey Ewe and Guild of Dungeoneering] selected as finalists for the Indie Prize at Casual Connect in Amsterdam next month.
You guys were a great help to us when we launched Hay Ewe and really helped to get the name out there so we feel you contributed to its success too.
Anyway, a nice bit of news for small business at the least.
Hey Ewe is a cute little puzzle game and is available now on the Apple App Store for 99 cents.
Guild of Dungeoneering is expected to be released in May on Steam for both Windows and Mac. We simply cannot wait to get our hands on this after playing a demo of it last year.
