[Health] ??Services for disabled people are threatened by a crisis in the recruitment and retention of staff in Section 39 funded disability organisations. The primary cause is a disparity in pay and conditions in Section 39 funded organisations compared to their HSE and Section 38 counterparts.

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.
