SIPO concern at lobbying report

Sipo feels draft report blamed it for lack of guidance on legislation

The Standards in Public Office Commission (Sipo) was deeply concerned that a draft government report seemed to be blaming it for a lack of guidance on how lobbying legislation works.

In February, the Department of Public Expenditure decided there was no need for a review of the law on lobbying despite 22 separate recommendations for legislative change from Sipo.
