General Practitioner Contract: Statements
Dail Éireann — 2020-11-03
============================================================

Leo Varadkar (FG), Dublin West

He has made no such demands of me. That is not the way we operate. We are getting to know each other well and are working well together. I make no demands of him and he makes no demands of me.
With regard to the Regulation of Lobbying Act, under that Act the person carrying out the lobbying is responsible for registering that activity. As a Deputy, Deputy Mattie McGrath is lobbied all the time but he has no responsibility to register it. I imagine he never does or never has. The responsibility for doing so is on the person carrying out the lobbying.
