Ireland falls one place on Corruption Perceptions Index
Dublin, 3 December 2014
Transparency International’s Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) for 2014 is published today and shows an improvement in Ireland’s score for the second year in a row.
Despite a series of controversies involving the Gardaí, charities and appointments to public bodies, as well as allegations of corruption in planning; Ireland’s position on the index has moved up since 2012.

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 will release its 18th annual Corruption Perceptions Index on 5 December 2012 at 05.00 GMT.
This year’s index ranks 176 countries/territories by their perceived levels of public sector corruption including Ireland. The index draws on 13 surveys covering expert assessments and surveys of businesspeople. The Corruption Perceptions Index is the leading indicator of public sector corruption, offering a yearly snapshot of the relative degree of the corruption problem by ranking countries from all over the globe.
