Probe into Libertas referendum funding draws a blank

AN investigation by the Standards in Public Office commission into how Libertas funded its anti-Lisbon treaty referendum campaign has drawn a blank.

The commission’s report says that the law should be changed to make it an offence to hinder their work or refuse to co-operate.

Their 37-page report lists their various attempts to find out where Libertas got its funding after it was estimated the group spent over e1 million on its campaign.
