Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

Legislation to provide for a register of lobbyists is the subject of a commitment in the programme for Government and will be proceeded with. Not all of the commitments made in the programme are provided for in the current legislative list which was published at a much earlier stage than usual. It is a list of legislation that can be delivered in the foreseeable future, but the Government's commitment to provide for a register of lobbyists remains.
