I was a candidate in the last local elections which were run according to a system that has much to recommend it. One could spend what one liked provided one declared it. Candidates are probably the best policemen of the system because, if I saw somebody else declaring that he or she had spent €3,000 or €5,000, although I knew in my heart and soul that he or she had thrice the amount of literature I had, I could query it. I do not think anybody had any complaint. It is not necessary to have 58 pages of guidelines, detailed receipts and accounts for €20, etc. While we certainly need to have controls on the amount of money spent, more importantly, we need to see where it came from. One does not need total bureaucracy. Now that the issue is topical, I urge all Senators and parties to try to make sensible inputs into the review which is to take place in the Department.
