[Budgetary matters] In relation to entrepreneurship in Ireland it is commonly accepted that we need to build more indigenous businesses. Take up of schemes such as KEEP, EIIS and so on have been consistently low, frequently as a result of restrictions in their configuration. There are also concerns about Family Business transfers. Can we get the Finance Act ultimately to deliver on policy goals rather than aiming to limit accessibility.

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.
