Shane Lowry Ends Deal with Kingspan Post-Inquiry
News summary

Shane Lowry, a prominent golfer, has ended his sponsorship deal with Kingspan following the Grenfell Tower inquiry's final report which critiqued the company's dishonest practices. The report highlighted Kingspan's role in creating a false market for its combustible insulation, which contributed to the fire safety risks in the 2017 Grenfell Tower tragedy that killed 72 people. Despite years of pressure from Grenfell United, Lowry had previously not responded to calls to end the deal. In his statement, Lowry said that ending the relationship was the 'right decision for all concerned.' Kingspan, meanwhile, has faced significant backlash for its disregard for fire safety and misleading marketing practices. Neither Lowry nor Kingspan will be commenting further on the matter.
