John Gormley (Dublin South East, Green Party)

The Labour Party is much closer to my colleagues in Fianna Fáil with regard to corporate donations than the Green Party because it sees no problem at all with corporate donations. If the Government was to impose a ban on corporate donations, Labour Party members would be up from their seats, saying they did not want it. The Labour Party accepts donations from builders or anyone else, but my party does not. That is the situation.
