Impunity

Dublin, 3 December 2013

Ireland’s international reputation continues to be dogged by a legacy of wrongdoing and failure to hold people to account. It’s time to end impunity, says John Devitt.

Transparency International (TI) publishes its annual Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) today. Although there has been an improvement in terms of Ireland’s ranking (it finds itself in 21^st place compared to 25^th place last year), its score on the index has not improved significantly enough to demonstrate a measurable change in perceptions of corruption.
