Ireland ranks among least corrupt nations but faces rising dark money risks

Transparency International warned Ireland remains potentially exposed to new, emerging corruption risks which may not yet be familiar to the public at large.

Ireland may be the 15th least corrupt country worldwide, but should still strengthen transparency and oversight across political donations and the corporate and financial sectors.

That is according to the latest edition of the annual corruption perceptions index (CPI), which gives Ireland a score of 76 out of 100 in rating the prevalence of corruption.
