May–August
[Housing] Inquired about process regarding the rezoning of a site in Galway city. Contacted councilor Neil McNelis by phone in May 2021 to inquire what steps were needed to go about getting a private site rezoned. He outlined the process and advised a submission of planning would need to be made in advance of approaching the councilors when the new Galway City Devolpment plan was released. E8WU is contained on PRA Folio GY49364F.

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.
