The State's ethics watchdog has said it is "very concerned" that Áontu and Renua have failed to meet their statutory obligations to furnish a statement of their accounts.

The Standards in Public Office Commission's annual report on parties' accounts found that five — Aontú, Identity Ireland, the National Party, Renua Ireland and the Workers’ Party - had not filed statements.
