Éamon Ó Cuív (Galway West, Fianna Fail)

If people are boasting they are doing something, we should know how they are doing it. I would have loved to give that kind of money to Fianna Fáil, which could badly do with it at present. However, I was told that while I could take the money myself and pay tax on it, if I donated more than €6,350 a year, it was a political donation over the limit and I was not allowed to do it. I could spend it on myself but I could not give it to the party.
