Ms Elaine Byrne in evidence to this inquiry, found that between 1997 and 2007, of the €1.8 million donated to Fianna Fáil, and anything €5,000 or under did not have to be notified, but of what was notified, 35% or €635,970, was from property and construction interests. Is that not significant? And, secondly, did tribunals show the corruption of councillors, some from your party, by property and developer interests, who were bribed by these profits?
