Each of these amendments flows from the recommendations of the Mahon tribunal on the treatment of anonymous donations. The tribunal recommended that anonymous donations to an electoral candidate or elected representative of more than €55, and to a political party of more than €175, be banned. Currently, all anonymous donations over €126 .97 are banned. I agree with the principle behind the tribunal's recommendation, but accepting its proposal would mean the anonymous donations threshold limit for parties would increase and that for individuals would decrease. To deal with this, I have struck a balance with a figure of €100.
