Regulation of Lobbying and Oireachtas (Allowances to Members) (Amendment) Bill 2022
Public bill · Government · Presented
It would widen Ireland’s lobbying rules so more people and groups have to register and report their lobbying, including some informal business groups and office-holders acting for organisations. It would also make the lobbying register easier to update, add new rule-breaking offences and anti-avoidance rules, and create a non-criminal penalty system for serious breaches, especially around post-job restrictions on former senior public officials. It also proposes changes to allowances for Oireachtas members.
