Sinn Féin TD Eoin Ó Broin publicised the result of a Survation online poll that showed the party ahead of its rivals in a social media post three days before ballots were cast. However, the cost did not appear on Sinn Féin’s return to Sipo.
A Sinn Féin statement said: “When submitting returns to Sipo, one invoice was accidentally omitted; due to staff working remotely as a result of public health restrictions.
Fine Gael Minister of State Peter Burke accused Sinn Féin of being “absolute hypocrites” in how it responds to such issues. Mr Donohoe has apologised for submitting inaccurate returns which he believed were “accurate and true” at the time he put them in.
