Political Parties Act 2012, amended 2013, Section 2.

Comment

The total campaign expenditure limit of political parties is 7 million Euro. In this, all individual candidates' campaign expenditures are included, which means that the theoretical spending limit of a candidate is 7 million Euro. If, however, a candidate spends 15,000 Euro or less, this will not count toward the party's limit.
