I acknowledge that the Ethics in Public Office Act, 1995, and the electoral Acts place a number of reporting obligations on members of the Houses in relation to, for example, making annual statements of interests and political donations and ad hoc disclosures of interests where a proximate conflict of interest arises. The Standards in Public Office Bill, 2000, the Report Stage of which will be discussed tomorrow, contains provisions which will ensure greater convenience to Members in complying with the requirements of these pieces of legislation. The Electoral (Amendment) Bill, 2000, provides for a revised donation regime which will involve additional administration for Members of the Houses. The Deputy should know that a number of the obligations arising from the ethics and electoral Acts fall not just on Members of the Houses, but also on others – for example, unsuccessful candidates in respect of donation statements under the electoral Acts and public servants and directors of state bodies in respect of statements of interests under the Ethics in Public Office Act.
