    Surely Gormley and Ryan and Sargent could contribute to the Lisbon campaign from their large salaries and expenses. what about all their Tds donating their tax free unvouched 'turning up' money?

    Against the law to donate any more than token amounts. Strange law, isn't it? I can't imagine why people shouldn't be allowed to spend vast sums of money to influence the outcome of referendums. Its political correctness gone mad.
