Corruption in Ireland

Corruption has been a growing feature of public discourse in Ireland over the past decade. State tribunals, investigations and media revelations of wrongdoing in public and corporate life have heightened perceptions of corruption and led to a momentum for reform in many of our key institutions and systems.

The question as to how effective this reform has been in combating corruption, what extent corruption poses a threat to Ireland’s public and corporate life is examined in our National Integrity Systems Country Study for 2009.
