Shatter: No apology for incorrect use of money

Justice Minister Alan Shatter has refused to apologise for the Government’s wrongful use of public money on its information campaign for the children’s referendum.

The no campaigners have suggested tomorrow’s vote is now “contaminated” as a result of taxpayers’ money being used to fund “propaganda”.

The Supreme Court found the Government “had acted wrongfully in expending or arranging to expend public monies on the website, booklet, and advertisement in relation to the referendum… in a manner that was not fair, equal or impartial”.
