Dear Denis,
I am delighted to hear of your response in becoming a sponsor of the Fine Gael Golf Classic. I gather this arose through discussions with Mark FitzGerald. Your very generous sponsorship of £4,000 will be used two-fold, with £1,000 sponsoring a hole and the remaining balance sponsoring the wine for the Gala Dinner. As I am sure Mark already discussed with you, appropriate advertising will be utilised.
I look forward to your attending the dinner on the night which I think will be an excellent evening.
Again many thanks for your kind support.
Yours sincerely,
PHIL HOGAN T.D.

Dear Denis,
Following my earlier correspondence last week, regarding our
upcoming Golf Classic, I would be very grateful if you could forward to Fine Gael Headquarters (by Friday 16th September) for the attention of Ms. Eileen Kelly, a disk with your company’s logo etc. Or alternatively a bromide listing the colours used in your logo. This would greatly enhance the advertisement at each hole which is being made available to our sponsors.I look forward to seeing you at the Gala dinner that evening.
With kind regards,
Yours sincerely,
Phil Hogan T.D.

Dear Phil
Please find enclosed a draft for the Golf on the 16th.
I understand Denis has requested that there are no references made to his contribution at the event.
Best of Luck on the day!
I’ll give you a call soon
Yours sincerely
Sarah Carey
Marketing Co-ordinator.
And that’s politics, folks.




Does beg the question, why do business’s give money to politicians & political parties…
The Green Party has a policy of no corporate donations – I think they needed a certain amount of TDs in the Dail to get funding – I’d say they’re struggling now!
Is Sarah Carey the love-child of Pee Flynn and Alison O’Riordan?

Sarah Carey: corporate shill and self-confessed liar. And the Irish Times still pay this woman?
