Vol. 422 No. 4

Written Answers. - Political Party Funding.

Gay Mitchell

Question:

63 Mr. G. Mitchell asked the Minister for Finance if he will consider increased funding for political parties.

The State already provides substantial funds for political parties in the form of amounts paid each year, subject to certain conditions, to party leaders by way of allowance for expenses. The allowances are adjusted in line with both general and special pay movements in the public service. An adjustment outside this arrangement is not contemplated at this stage.
