Fianna Fáil on course to pay off €500k in debt

FIANNA Fail is due to pay €500,000 off its debt by year’s end, party leader Micheál Martin has said.

As recently reported by the Irish Examiner, the party is €2.2 million in debt. But a significant slice of the money will be repaid by the end of this month, Mr Martin has confirmed.

“We’re due to pay back half a million by the end of Christmas on the debt,” he said in an interview with this newspaper. Asked if the party would manage to make the repayment, he replied: “Yes.”
