What is the sanction if a serving politician is found to be in breach of the provisions of the relevant electoral acts? How are these acts administered? Is this civil or criminal matter? Who investigates and prosecutes breaches of the act?

from letter to Irish Times
Madam, – In the light of recent controversy, perhaps it should be pointed out that Section 11 of the Prevention of Electoral Abuses Act, 1923 was repealed (with effect from December 9th, 1963) by Section 3 of the Electoral Act, 1963 as brought into operation by the Electoral Act, 1963 (Commencement) (No 2) Order, 1963 (SI No 245/1963) – Yours, etc,

It is a criminal matter and so a matter for the Gardaí to investigate with a view to a file being prepared for the DPP.
