Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Regulation of Lobbying (Amendment) Bill 2022: Committee Stage (7 Dec 2022)

Mairéad Farrell: I wish to speak on this section because I had tabled an amendment on this, which concerned the detail.

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Regulation of Lobbying (Amendment) Bill 2022: Committee Stage (7 Dec 2022)

Mairéad Farrell: It is unfortunate my amendments were ruled out of order. Amendment No. 7 was designed to support recommendations 12, 16 and 70 as submitted by SIPO in May 2019 as part of the second legislative review of the Regulation of Lobbying Act 2015.

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Regulation of Lobbying (Amendment) Bill 2022: Committee Stage (7 Dec 2022)

Mairéad Farrell: We have been through this but again, my amendment has been ruled out of order, presumably on the basis it creates additional duties for SIPO and hence an additional charge to the taxpayer. I have been quite clear about disagreeing with that. It is worth pointing out again these were additional powers requested by SIPO and worth highlighting that it never said it would not be able to take on...

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Regulation of Lobbying (Amendment) Bill 2022: Committee Stage (7 Dec 2022)

Mairéad Farrell: I also thank the Minister and his officials for the great engagement that has always been there on this Bill, and, indeed, on other Bills. If things change in the next ten days, to be exact, I hope that we will see the Minister in front of the committee again, and I am sure that we will continue to work very well together. I wish him all the best in the future. I hope that people who have...
