FF plans to cut debts of €2.2m in fundraising blitz

FIANNA FÁIL is €2.2 million in debt but aims to reduce the figure to €1m by Christmas 2012 through aggressive fundraising.

A detailed account of the party’s finances is contained in a new magazine for members, the first edition of which has just been published.

It represents something of a break with tradition, as political parties, including Fianna Fáil, have traditionally been coy about their finances.
