Leo Varadkar will make his Fine Gael politicians sign off on election expenses with the party’s Director of Compliance from now on in the wake of the Paschal Donohoe postergate controversy.
The Taoiseach was speaking at IFA headquarters in Bluebell on Tuesday night before the farm organisation’s AGM after public expenditure minister Mr Donohoe admitted to the Dail earlier in the evening that he inadvertently broken expenses ethics rules in the 2016 and 2020 general elections.
Mr Varadkar will be ordering his TDs and Senators to be more careful in their filing of returns in future in the wake of the political furore.
