State Financing

The Standards Commission supervises the expenditure of state funding received by qualified political parties under the Electoral Acts.  It also supervises the expenditure of the Party Leaders Allowance paid to the parliamentary leaders of qualified political parties under the Oireachtas (Ministerial and Parliamentary Offices) (Amendment) Act, 2001).  In each case qualified political parties must furnish an annual statement of expenditure of the funding received to the Standards Commission.

The Standards Commission reports to the Chairman of Dáil Éireann on expenditure of funding received under the Electoral Acts and to the Minister of Finance on expenditure of the Party Leaders Allowance Act.

This section of the website contains summary details of the statements of expenditure of state funding furnished to the Standards Commission.
