Honesty in Ireland - Corruption persists at many levels

IT may be a case of any port in a storm but in these spectacular times we’ll take any slip of good news where we can find it.

Yesterday’s report from Transparency International Ireland (TII) is positive news but it is more of the mildly reassuring kind than a cause for wild celebration.

TII tell us that we do not have the high levels of “conventional” corruption as is seen in some other countries but that we do have high levels of what they describe as “lawful” corruption.
