The SDLP was the only main party which recorded an income greater than its expenditure last year.

Sinn Féin also recorded an overspend back in 2020 but in recent years the party has benefitted from millions of pounds in donations from a deceased donor.

Totalling more than £3m since the first donation in 2019, the money came from Billy Hampton, a former market trader who died in Pembrokshire in Wales in 2018. His father Tim Hampton was a wealthy businessman who had significant commercial interests in the village of Fenstanton in Cambridgeshire in England.

When Billy Hampton's first donation of £1.5m was made it was understood to be the largest ever known donation to a Northern Ireland political party.Related Topics
