Eoin Ó Broin (Dublin Mid West, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

It is one of the great tragedies of partition that it creates all of these difficulties in many respects. To reiterate, Sinn Féin would much prefer there was one set of electoral laws for the island because it would make our job an awful lot easier.

To return to my question about the consequences of the Government's amendment No. 90 on section 22, I am trying to ascertain whether the reach of amendment No. 90 is solely with respect to any donation into this State from a subsidiary outside the State? Is that where the new responsibilities and obligations lie? That would mean there is no obligation on a subsidiary outside the State with respect to donations that are made and remain outside of the State. It is only at the point when donations are transferred from one jurisdiction to another. Is that the import of amendment No. 90 for section 22?
