Niall Collins (Limerick, Fianna Fail)

The programme for Government commits to legislative and constitutional amendments to implement a ban on corporate donations. We debated this issue on Friday in the Taoiseach's absence. The Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government, Deputy Hogan, who was the only Minister present, stated that a constitutional ban would not be possible because of international commitments. I ask the Taoiseach to enlighten us on whether he still intends to ban corporate donations to political parties and, if so, when he intends to do so.
