Narrative

I have worked on the issue of regulation of lobbyists in Ireland since 2012. I have submitted written evidence in 2016 for the first review of the 2015 Lobbying Regulation Act. I was consulted by SIPO during the formulation of the lobbyists code of conduct and was invited to submit written evidence to the second review of the act. This evidence was extensively adopted and cited by the Department.
