439. Deputy John Browne asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if there is a anomaly in the Regulation of Lobbying Act 2015 in that one part says that a representative body may only be required to register as a representative body if a paid employee, or an officeholder, is directly engaged in communicating independently with designated public officials, whereas a guidance note from the Standards in Public Office Commission indicates that a representative body should register when a designated public official is, or ever has been, whether before or after the passing of the Act, employed by, or providing services, and who was-is engaged in carrying on lobbying activities for that representative body; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
