Anew Support Services CLG
January–April
[Housing] Anew met with Minister Daragh O'Brien, Reps from DRHE and the Department of Housing on 18th Feb 2021 (on-line). Anew highlighted that we have a consistent waiting list of about 10 homeless pregnant women for 4 beds. These women have complex support needs, so other homeless services are not appropriate. The Minister noted that the DRHE always welcome new proposals from services and he suggested that Anew submit a proposal for extra capacity, with good evidence for the need.

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.
