Yes, but I wish to add one point of clarification. This is a good opportunity for people to be very clear about the implications. For example, if the Minister of State, Deputy Nash or I were to organise an election fundraising event in the run-up to the next general election and party colleagues or branches from outside of the State, such as the Green Party in south Belfast or Sinn Féin in north Belfast, were to sponsor a table or buy tickets or whatever, then irrespective of the price, even if they are €5 tickets, they all must be declared and they are all now covered under the scope of this legislation in a way that would not be the case if a subsidiary organisation from within the State were to participate in the same event and make the same contribution? This is important.
