Ireland’s rating in an international corruption index slipped to 20th place in 2020, leading to calls for outstanding recommendations from the Mahon Tribunal to be progressed.

The Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI), a measure of public-sector corruption collated by Transparency International, has found that Ireland fell by two points, from 74 to 72 out of 100, last year.
