John Browne (Wexford, Fianna Fail)

On the spending limit for the presidential election, a greater reduction than the €750,000 proposed in this Bill should apply. There should also be a greater reduction than the proposed maximum of €200,000 which can be reimbursed to a candidate of a presidential election. It is disappointing that Fine Gael and the Labour Party are facilitating another election campaign to be funded by corporate donations.
