2. Appointment of Election Agents and National Agents

Election agents

Each candidate at a Dáil bye-election is required to appoint an election agent for the purpose of incurring expenditure on the candidate's behalf at the election. A candidate may act as his/her own election agent.

National Agents

Each political party with candidates contesting a Dáil bye-election is required to appoint a national agent for the purpose of incurring expenditure on the party's behalf at the election.

Each of the seven political parties which contested the bye-elections notified the Standards Commission of the appointment of a national agent. As required under section 6(a) of the Act, the Standards Commission published in Iris Oifigiúil, on 26 May 2009, the names and addresses of the national agents appointed, or deemed to have been appointed, by each of the political parties. For details of the candidates, their election agents and the national agents of political parties, see Appendix I to this report.
