Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation
Dail Éireann — 2021-12-02
============================================================

Peadar Tóibín (AON), Meath West

The Taoiseach is running at €600,000 raffle with a licence that is meant for a charity. Is it not cynical and extreme that Fianna Fáil, a party that reaped €3.4 million from the State last year, is now applying specifically under a charities licence to raise funds? A charities licence is for people who are in real need. You could not make this up. I ask the Tánaiste a simple question. Is Fianna Fáil a charity? Is it wrong for Fianna Fáil to use charities legislation to raise funds as a political party?
