Section 6(4) of the Act requires each public body to publish a list of designated public officials of the body. The purpose of the list is:

• to allow members of the public to identify those persons who are designated public officials;
• to be used as a resource for lobbyists filing a return to the Register who may need to source a designated public official’s details.

Further information is available at www.lobbying.ie.
