If you’re thinking about running for a Dáil seat at the next general election – due to take place no later than January 2030 – you might want to start saving.

A new investigation has revealed that it costs, on average, over €20,000 between candidate and party spending to run a successful election campaign.

The Journal Investigates analysed 528 election expense forms returned to the Standards in Public Office Commission (Sipo) by candidates following the last general election.

Conor O’Carroll from The Journal Investigates joined us on The Agenda this morning to talk to us some more about this.
