The public ethics watchdog has officially confirmed it is dropping its investigation into land ownership by Michael Lowry.
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 wrong-doing.
It says the lands in Wigan were worth less than €13,000 - the minimum value for them to be included in list of interests of Deputy Lowry.
The Commission says it noted estimates of the land's value obtained from two independent professional valuers. It says that when these were taken together they did not confirm his interest in the lands exceeded the threshold.
The Commission decided that there was not sufficient evidence to sustain the complaints.
The Commission wrote to the the Committee on Members' Interests of the Dáil on Wednesday with a record of its decision.
