Corruption Perceptions Index 2013: What can Ireland learn from Hong Kong?
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 21st place compared to 25th place last year), its score on the index has not improved significantly enough to demonstrate a measurable change in perceptions of corruption.
