[Justice and Equality] After the election waw called, our organisation sent a mass email to TDs who were standing for election in order to draw attention to some urgent issues facing our sector - these included a call for funding for our sector, more emphasis on reintegration and rehabilitation as well as a call for more focus on mental health services, early intervention and housing.

{'name': 'Email All Oireachtas Members', 'role': 'This mass email was sent out on November 26, after the general election was called and as the election campaigning was underway. It aimed to inform politicians who were in campaigning mode about our activities and the needs of our sector, from the crisis of funding to organisations like ours, to prison overcrowding, to a lack of investment in mental health and addiction services.'}

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.
