A senator's bid to curtail the influence of fossil fuel lobbyists in Ireland has been rejected by a Green Party Minister.
Sinn Fein’s Lynn Boylan called for amendment of the Lobbying Bill at Seanad Éireann yesterday, aimed at limiting the fossil fuel industry’s access to public officials and excluding them from public institutions’ expert and advisory bodies.
She also called for a Code of Conduct for fossil fuel lobbyists and designated public officials, to stop the former from holding events or exhibitions in official buildings.
