Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Well, I would say to you, Deputy Higgins, to run a major party, obviously costs a considerable amount of money. The vast majority of Fine Gael's fundraising came from our national draw, and still does, from ordinary members of the party and supporters around the country. Any occasions of a social nature were certainly not in the terms that you described them there as and obviously would have had to comply with all of the regulations of SIPO. But let me repeat for you that Fine Gael's fundraising is, in the vast majority, came from the national draw and as you'll realise, we put an end to corporate donations entirely.
