Society will no longer tolerate corruption, says Gilmore

The Mahon Tribunal has been a watershed and the kind of corruption it exposed could not happen again, as Irish society would not tolerate it, Tánaiste Eamon Gilmore has said.

Many changes have been made to reduce the likelihood of politicians taking bribes, but further changes will significantly alter how planning decisions and county development plans are made, said Mr Gilmore.

The public will expect the gardaí and the DPP to pursue those exposed by the report, he said.
