Niall Collins (Limerick, Fianna Fail)

My point is that in the general election campaign the Minister's party led the public to believe that it would ban corporate donations, and the public voted for the party on that basis, although the party knew it could not do it. The Minister is now hiding behind the legal advice. However, he has not answered my question. When will the legislation be dealt with in the House? Fundraising by all political parties is taking place now and every week under the old regime. We all agree with the spirit of the Bill but when will it be enacted?
