Sinn Fein President Mary Lou McDonald and former party President Gerry Adams in the Sinn Féin shop in Dublin. All the parties receive funding from the State, while Sinn Féin in Northern Ireland also receives funding from the UK. The money was declared by Sinn Féin in Northern Ireland in 13 payments between April 2019 and July 2023, said the commission. Mr Dollard, who lived in Kilkenny, and Mr Hampton, left their bequests to Sinn Féin in Dublin, but the money was accepted by Sinn Féin in Northern Ireland. There are restrictions in the Republic on political donations from outside the jurisdiction, but these do not apply to Sinn Féin in Northern Ireland.
