I can confirm that no senior staff members of my Department are also on the boards of bodies registered for lobbying purposes under the Regulation of Lobbying Act 2015, or on the board of bodies which have had to disclose that they engaged in lobbying State authorities. Any intention to issue directions on the appropriateness of any involvement in these bodies is a matter for DPER.

The information in respect of state bodies within the scope of the Deputy’s question is being collated and will be forwarded to the Deputy as soon as it becomes available.
