Denis O’Brien’s £55,339 1999/2000 donations to Fine Gael

From the archives. This is a statutory declaration by businessman Denis O’Brien outlining his donations to Fine Gael in 1999 and 2000. It shows individual donations to Cllr Louise Cosgrove, Richard Bruton and Jimmy Deenihan. There was also a £50,000 donation to Fine Gael via then leader John Bruton.

The total over both years was £4,499 and £50,840 respectively.

Of course we assert no claim of malfeasance on the part of the donor or the recipients.
