Poll: Should lobby regulations be tightened up for government officials joining tech companies?
WITH A NUMBER of government officials taking up jobs in the policy departments of big tech companies, there has been calls to tighten lobby rules in Ireland.
In recent years, a number of former government staff have gone on to join companies such as Facebook and Google.
According to a story in the Sunday Business Post at the weekend, when it comes to the question of whether an official requires a cooling off-period before working as a lobbyist, the law only looks at the official’s grade and not the policy area.
Keeping that in mind we are asking Fora readers this week: Should lobby regulations be tightened up for government officials joining tech companies?
Poll Results:
Yes (586)
No (41)
I don't know (23)
