GRECO Fifth Round Evaluation Report of Ireland

On 16 February, the Council of Europe Group of States Against Corruption (GRECO) published the Fifth Round Evaluation Report of Ireland. GRECO's fifth evaluation round evaluated the effectiveness of the framework in place in Ireland to prevent corruption amongst persons with top executive functions (such as ministers, senior civil servants and advisers) and members of the police (An Garda Síochána). It aimed to identify areas for improvement and positive developments that should be sustained with a view to assisting the Irish authorities in strengthening prevention efforts in line with GRECO standards.
