Regulation of Lobbying

Section 6(4) of the Regulation of Lobbying Act 2015 requires each public body to publish a list showing the name, grade and brief details of the role and responsibilities of each “Designated Public Official” of the body.

The purpose of the list is to:

  • allow members of the public identify those persons who are Designated Public Officials; and 
  • as a resource for lobbyists filing a return to the Register who may need to source a Designated Public Official’s details. 

Designated Public Officials

  • Dr. Des Hogan, Chairperson and Commissioner for Data Protection
  • Dale Sunderland, Commissioner for Data Protection

The Commissioner's responsibilities are in accordance with the Data Protection Act 2018.
