Sinn Féin has called on Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform Paschal Donohoe to provide further clarity around the declaration of expenses and donations during his 2016 General Election campaign
Yesterday, Mr Donohoe said that he updated his election expenses statement to the Standards in Public Office Commission after reviewing his records.
The services relate to putting up and taking down electoral posters, which Mr Donohoe said he believed had been voluntary. "We know that the minister was advised in 2017 about the use of a vehicle. He was at that stage the minister with direct responsibility for SIPO, he didn't amend the record in 2017.
"We are talking about six people, putting up over 1,000 posters....and it's clear that a donation was made and it wasn't declared.
