Trevor Sargent (Dublin North, Green Party)

As we all know the period in which election expenditure is taken into account, three weeks before an election date, has an unreal quality to it. Is there any cut-off point in advance of an expected general election period during which new PR contracts would not be signed given the likelihood that they would take into account political dimensions or political work? Between now and the general election will there be any PR contracts or what is the nature of those contracts given the impending general election?
