Who are Transparency International?

Transparency International (TI) is the leading international non-governmental organisation dedicated to fighting corruption throughout the world. TI's campaign against corruption is supported through a range of information, education and research programmes around the world.

TI carries its work out through its International Secretariat based in Berlin and its network of over 100 chapters and affiliates worldwide.

Why establish a chapter of TI in Ireland ?

Despite enduring public cynicism towards political and commercial actors and systems, until now, there has been no independent organisation working in Ireland dedicated to raising awareness of the human and financial costs of corruption at home and abroad. For more information on our plans for the coming year and beyond, please visit our programmes section.

Who Funds TI?

TI Ireland is currently supported by the Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust (JRCT). The European Commission is also supporting projects coordinated by TI Ireland including the formation of its Transparency Resource and Advice Centre.

How do I become a member?

Membership of TI Ireland is open to any individual of integrity that is committed to our common mission. Further details are available here.

When was TI Ireland founded?
