Appendix 7 - Breakdown by category of expenditure accounted for by national agents of political parties on the national campaign and on candidates in constituencies

As stated in Appendix 6 above, the definition of what constitutes election expenditure is provided in the schedule to the Electoral Act, 1997 under eight specific headings.

The Election Expenses Statement forms issued by the Standards Commission to national agents were designed to ensure that details of election expenditure would be provided under these headings.

Below is a summary of the information provided by national agents in their Election Expenses Statements. The table provides a breakdown of expenditure by the national agents under each heading.

The figures are sub-divided into national expenditure and expenditure on specific candidates in constituencies.
