Contradictions appear to exist between audited accounts and election spending returns and revolve around a figure of €313,000
Sinn Féin party leader Mary Lou McDonald and vice-president Michelle O'Neill: The party faces the prospect of submitting revised accounts and declarations. This would be embarrassing following recent criticisms of Minister for Public Expenditure Paschal Donohoe.
The discrepancies, which amount in some cases to hundreds of thousands of euro, have been identified through detailed examinations of statutory filings to the commission in recent years. If the complaints are upheld, Sinn Féin faces the prospect of submitting revised accounts and spending declarations – an outcome which would be severely embarrassing following its recent criticisms of Minister for Public Expenditure Paschal Donohoe.
Central to the complaints are contradictions between the audited accounts that the party must submit every year, and the election spending returns.
