Special advisors are responsible to the Standards in Public Office Commission (SIPO) in relation to filing of Section 19 Statements of Interests. Where a Statement of Interest is furnished, it is to be laid before the Oireachtas. There is no obligation on a special advisor to furnish a nil statement where no interests exist. Accountable issues in relation to Special Advisors are defined in declarations to be made under the Ethics in Public office Act.
