Statement by the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform
Dail Éireann — 2023-01-24
============================================================

Paul Murphy (PBP), Dublin South-West

This is the problem. When the Minister begins to tell untruths he begins to trip himself up. It does not make any difference where the donations went. If they were donations to Fine Gael, they fall under the rules for donations to a party. The Minister is, presumably, aware that if a party receives donations or donations in aggregate exceeding €1,500 in any one year, it needs to declare that. Is the Minister aware of that rule?
