The Independents do not get any grants from political parties and must rake up the money themselves. I do not mind doing this. In 1982-83 there were three elections and I did not get a seat. The only substantial donation I received was for the election in 1987, when I was elected. It was £500 and the person who gave it wrote to me in the last couple of years saying he would never vote for me again or contribute in any way because I supported former Justice Hugh O'Flaherty when he was in difficulty. I considered the judge a decent man. I read the Hamilton report and it seemed to go a long way in exonerating him. I said as much and the fellow who had given me the £500 said he would never do so again. I will have nothing to report, therefore, in future.
