Seanad debates

Wednesday, 18 June 2003

Another point that struck me when reading the report was the restriction imposed on groups and individuals not supporting a candidate or party. In its report, the commission cites 15 cases where it considered that election expenses were incurred, totalling €50,665. These ranged across the spectrum from support for the homeless through a worthy and well-known support agency, to the students union encouraging its members to vote against Fianna Fáil. It did not do them any good but it made interesting reading. In his review I ask the Minister to look at this area and, perhaps, to firm up on it.
