Electoral Commission in Ireland: Discussion (Resumed)
2:15 pm
Mr. Seamus McCarthy:
On the point raised by Deputy Catherine Murphy about political funding, Mr. Tyndall has referred to the distinction to be drawn in respect of ongoing political funding, about which I made a quick analysis this morning. It is running at approximately €13 million to €14 million per year for the parliamentary leaders allowance, Electoral Act funding and funding to Independents.
