In a statement this morning, businessman Michael Stone confirmed he contributed €1,400 to the Fine Gael minister’s campaign in 2020 – but forgot he did so.
He said he personally paid for six people to help with postering at a cost of €972, and paid for the use of vans worth €434.He also said that, when Minister Donohoe approached him in December to ask whether any more were made, he mistakenly told him no. Mr Stone said he didn’t know his donation of almost €1,100 in 2016 needed to be accounted for in the minister’s election expenses.
He said he deeply regrets any embarrassment he's brought the Minister, and has now stepped down from roles he held on the North Inner City Taskforce and the Land Development Agency. The revelations will put further pressure on Paschal Donohoe ahead of his statement to the Dáil this afternoon.
Even if we believe Donohue what other competition allows you to keep the prize after you admit you cheated during the competition?

What could go wrong for Paschal Donohoe as he addresses poster controversy in Dáil?Minister's political career at a key juncture ahead of Tuesday’s Dáil statement Hopefully he'll get a better hearing than that afforded to Francis Fitzgerald back in 2017. Her resignation was followed by an investigation which found her not guilty of wrongdoing. Similar 'justice' afforded to Alan Shatter, Barry Cowen, Golfgate participants..Rough justice.
