About Man Corporate Services, Ireland
Man Corporate Services, Ireland is the official website of the Regulator of Lobbying in Ireland. The Regulation of Lobbying Act 2015 was introduced to promote transparency and accountability in lobbying activities carried out by individuals and organizations. The website serves as a platform for lobbyists to register their activities and for the public to access information on lobbying activities.
The Act defines lobbying as any communication made with a designated public official with the intention of influencing a decision on policy or legislation. This includes face-to-face meetings, phone calls, emails, and written correspondence. The Act applies to all individuals and organizations who engage in lobbying activities regardless of whether they are paid or unpaid.

This includes providing details such as the name of the lobbyist, their employer or client, the subject matter being lobbied on, and any relevant documentation such as reports or studies.
The website also provides guidance for lobbyists on how to comply with the Act's requirements. This includes information on what constitutes lobbying activity, who is considered a designated public official, how often lobbyists must report their activities, and what penalties may be imposed for non-compliance.
In addition to providing resources for lobbyists, Man Corporate Services also serves as a valuable resource for members of the public who wish to access information on lobbying activity in Ireland. The website maintains a publicly accessible register that contains details of all registered lobbyists and their activities.
This transparency promotes accountability among those engaged in lobbying activity by allowing members of the public to see who is attempting to influence policy decisions and how they are doing so. It also allows designated public officials to make informed decisions based on full disclosure from those seeking influence over policy decisions.
