TI Ireland comments on an Irish public representative convicted of corruption.
FORMER FINE Gael councillor Fred Forsey was yesterday sentenced to six years in prison with two years suspended for taking bribes from a property developer.
The former deputy mayor of Dungarvan, Co Waterford, had been convicted by a jury last month of receiving corrupt payments of €80,000 in exchange for lobbying his council colleagues to rezone agricultural land for residential and industrial use.
