Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

This morning, the Minister, Deputy Gormley, said he intended to donate his €25,000 pay increase to his party. However, as my colleague, Deputy Tuffy, pointed out, the Minister cannot do so under the Electoral Acts. This is because there is a limit of approximately €6,500 on the amount an individual can donate to a political party.
