Once a lobbyist engages in lobbying activities with a Designated Public Official he or she is obliged to register this on the Lobbying Register. This is to provide the general public with information on who is lobbying whom about what. This information remains indefinitely on the lobbying register as a permanent record of transparency. If a lobbyist stops lobbying and does not intend to lobby again in the future, he or she can apply to the Standards in Public Office Commission to have his or her registration marked as “ceased lobbying” on the Lobbying Register. The Standards Commission can be contacted for further information on this matter by phone (01-6395722) or email info@lobbying.ie.
