Éamon Ó Cuív (Galway West, Fianna Fail)

The programme for Government promises speedy action to regulate lobbying, but the legislative programme is silent on the issue and states it is unlikely to be addressed soon. In the light of today's controversy, I am wondering whether there are any initiatives to bring forward speedy proposals to deal with the issue. The Tánaiste would be shouting very loudly about it if he was on this side of the House. What proposals does he have to deal with it as a matter of urgency?
