In Simon Harris's inaugural year as leader, Fine Gael's annual draw generated only €800,000, marking a significant decline from €1.1m in previous years.
The party attributed the decrease in raffle sales to the timing of the general election, which negatively impacted their lucrative ticket sales.
Over its 22-year history, the raffle has been the largest political fundraiser, but the recent financial drop signifies challenges for Fine Gael amidst multiple elections.
Fine Gael's financial struggles this year reflect broader issues, with three elections and two referendums straining party finances significantly.
