"Apart from finance, the party contributed to personnel, canvassing, ­leafleting and more Sinn Féin spent almost four times that of the other opposition parties to get Catherine Connolly elected President, new figures reveal."
"The party spent just over €60,000 to back Connolly in the race for the Áras, more than the Social Democrats, Labour and People Before Profit-Solidarity combined."
Sinn Féin provided personnel, canvassing, leafleting and other support to back Catherine Connolly's bid for the Áras. The party spent over €60,000 on the campaign, a sum almost four times the expenditure of the other opposition parties. The spending exceeded the combined amounts contributed by the Social Democrats, Labour and People Before Profit–Solidarity. The resources covered campaign activities and outreach across constituencies. The comparative scale of Sinn Féin's financial and operational support singled it out as the largest opposition backer of Connolly's presidential candidacy.
