O’Donoghue ‘has made National Lottery a political slush fund’
It described the €300,000 grant given to a Kerry rowing club in breach of Department guidelines as ‘Punchestown Mark Two’.
“The National Lottery has become a political slush fund. The points system can be circumvented and Fianna Fáil have manipulated it to suit their own electoral interest,” said sports spokesman Jimmy Deenihan.
