Afri
May–August
[Justice and Equality] Afri and Comhlámh launched a public campaign ahead of the September Hague Group deadline. We asked civil society organisations to sign a joint open letter, share the campaign with #HagueGroupNow, and encourage staff to act. We asked individuals to sign a petition and use the Uplift tool to email their TDs urging Ireland to join the Hague Group and adopt its measures. No direct contact with DPOs took place in this period.
Public Officials Lobbied
{'name': 'Email All TDs', 'role': 'Yes. Afri and Comhlámh managed a campaign using an Uplift email-sending tool, which enabled members of the public to email their TDs individually, calling on the Government to join the Hague Group and adopt its measures. We also used email newsletters and social media to mobilise the public, though no bulk messages were sent directly by Afri/Comhlámh to Designated Public Officials.'}

Most Lobbied TDs

Data Source
All lobbying data comes from the Regulation of Lobbying Register, maintained by the Standards in Public Office Commission under the Regulation of Lobbying Act 2015.

Lobbyists must file returns every 4 months. This tracker makes that data searchable by TD, policy domain, and subject — so you can see who is trying to influence the decisions that affect your life.
Why This Matters
Lobbying is legal and often legitimate. But when property developers lobby TDs who vote on housing policy, or when insurance companies lobby ministers setting regulation — you have a right to know. Transparency is accountability.
