Donohoe tells Dáil of regret over election expenses

He was giving a Dáil statement in relation to issues surrounding his declaration in respect of the 2016 General Election campaign.

He acknowledged that he made a"clear mistake" in not including the cost in his election expenses, something for which he apologises. The expenses were amended on Sunday and given to SIPO, he said. In 2020, it was five tickets with a donation value of €334, and in 2021 it was 22 tickets with a donation value of €1,382.He said that he"will engage and cooperate fully with any process that [SIPO] undertake[s]".

Ged Nash, the Labour party's spokesman, asked Mr Donohoe if"unauthorised expenditure incurred" during his 2016 ."... if so, will you notify SIPO of this breach of the Act?" he asked. She also accused him of trying to stonewall the Irish Independent when it first asked him about this.

SF are so hypocritical

Mary lou face.. wouldn’t you swear it was her he was talking about. Wasn’t there questions over her home

I like him!

Pascal will have to go

Me thinks the opposition does protest too much!! I'm all for keeping politicians in check, no matter who they are. In Pascal's case, this is much ado about little, or a.....

Sinn Fein on the high ground. You couldn’t make this up. Yes, it shouldn’t have happened, address the issue and move on. They are going to spend days, maybe weeks talking about this in the Dail when this time could be better spent on more important issues.

Sinn Fein talking about disclosure 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Checks, that his fingers are not crossed and his arms are behind his back 🤡

Resign then and show us that you are truly sorry. 🤣

All fur coat no ?

'I want to provide as much additional information as I can to the House', Mr Donohoe said. 'Mr. Stone has made no donations to me personally'. 'However, in 2020 and 2021, Mr Stone made a donation to Fine Gael by the purchase of Superdraw tickets, which were sold by me,' he added
