FitzGerald hits out at party’s business links
As FG leader Enda Kenny drew some fire over the party’s fundraising golf event which attracted big business backing, Mr FitzGerald said financial links between the political and commercial spheres created a culture of “dependency” and should be stopped.
“The provision by business interests of some of the costs of political organisation and politician’s election campaigns, which creates a political dependency relationship that risks biasing recipients in favour of business interests. Removal of this potential source of abuse is now urgent,” he said at the opening of the annual MacGill Summer School.
