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

Paschal Donohoe (FG), Dublin Central

I did not know Mr. Stone in 2007 and 2011. I have no recollection at all of talking to the then Minister, Eoghan Murphy, in relation to this. At that point the value of the work Mr. Stone was doing in the north-east inner city was becoming very broadly known as was the impact that he was having because of the kind of value he added. The impact he was having on issues was becoming well known. In relation to 2017, as I said in response to an earlier question, I do wish at that point I had revised the donation that was equal to the commercial value of the use of that van. At that point the change I would have made would have been at the value of €140.
