Watchdog calls for reform of political party funding

Files have been sent to the gardaí and DPP by political funding watchdogs in relation to Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil branches.

Standards in Public Office (Sipo) took the step in regards to sections of the parties in Kildare and Dublin.

Sipo used its annual report to call for reform of the law to ensure a more accurate investigation of party political funding.
