The Minister said that Mr Stone was a man of the very highest standards and had given back to the northeast inner city in which he had grown up.“However, I want to be fully transparent to the House,” Mr Donohoe said.
He said having reviewed the matter following last week’s complaint to Sipo, he now accepted that a payment had been made. Mr Donohoe added that before last week, he had not been “aware before this time of any payment having been made”. “Neither myself nor any of my team intentionally misinformed Sipo or knew that a form was incorrectly submitted to them. In light of the information that has now been made available to me, I have taken the steps to address the issue as fully as I can.”

He said that the law was clear that expenses that were incurred on candidates’ behalf had to attributed to the candidate and not to the party.He claimed the Minister was now trying to “reverse engineer” the payments to ensure they came in at below the allowable limits.
