Main EU files targeted
The main activity at EU level is to better inform clients on policy in relation to financial services and when appropriate to lobby on their behalf when requested to do so. I am a one person organization operating in Dublin, Ireland for a wide range of clients covering many issues in Ireland. The purpose of seeking to register is to be able to lobby at EU level, when requested to do so. In addition to financial services I have, on behalf of clients, a particular interest in relation to energy policy.

Complementary Information
I am a one person organization operating in Dublin, Ireland for a wide range of clients covering many issues in Ireland. The purpose of seeking to register is to be able to lobby at EU level, when requested to do so. EU issues are a small part of my business activity but it is important that when necessary I can reach out to personnel in the EU Institutions to lobby on issues of interest including financial services and energy.
