Regulation of Lobbying Act 2015

The Regulation of Lobbying legislation is designed to provide information to the public about who is lobbying whom about what.

Section 6 (4) of the Lobbying Act 2015 requires each public body to publish a list showing the name, grade and brief details of the role and responsibilities of each “designated public official” of that body.

The purpose of the list is two-fold.

  • To allow members of the public identify those persons who are Designated Public Officials.
  • As a resource for lobbyists filing a return to the Register who may need to source a Designated Public Official’s Details.

The Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform has prepared and published a code, known as the "Transparency Code", which sets out how certain relevant public bodies, such as ministerial advisory groups, may conduct their activities in a transparent way. By adhering to the Transparency Code, communications within these bodies would meet the exemption from the requirement to register and report on lobbying activities.

List of “Relevant Bodies” adhering to the Transparency Code:

  • Strategic Policy Committees

  • Local Community Safety Partnership (in the process of being established)

  • Local Community Development Committee
