FG choice campaign won’t be funded by memberships

Fine Gael’s referendum campaign will not use official party funds to pay for its pro-choice platform amid concerns from pro-life officials over their membership fees being targeted.

Culture Minister and campaign co-ordinator Josepha Madigan said the pro-choice Fine Gael campaign platform will be funded through “dinners and events” instead of “membership subscriptions”.

Speaking on RTÉ radio’s Today With Sean O’Rourke programme, Ms Madigan said pro-choice Fine Gael members are still putting their campaign together.
