What about nepotism?

The index measures *perceived* corruption rather than actual corruption levels. This means it reflects how experts and businesses view corruption in a country, which may not always align with the real extent of corrupt practices.
This makes a lot of sense when you consider we generally talk about corruption with occassional eye rolls and bar side outrage. Occassionally something like a bike shed gets picked apart.

10th, embarrassing. FF back at the top of the pile. Let’s get back to our brilliant best. Someone tell the Sudanese we’re coming for them 💰✉️💰✉️

Part of me wonders: if we still had the brown envelopes en masse, would more apartment complexes be built?

This truly is a shockingly misleading headline. Rte obviously had the barely literate student Union intern on headlines duty for this or otherwise the commies have taken over in there again…. 10th *BEST* on global index !

Public sector? I assume it doesn’t include politicians? Fair enough, we don’t pay bribes to get things done down the passport office BUT…

…the guy running the country had money [deposited into his wife’s account](https://www.irishexaminer.com/news/arid-20144327.html) by a developer (still waiting for answers on that one, Taoiseach) and the guy who recently helped him form the government was described as [breathtakingly corrupt](https://www.westernpeople.ie/michael-lowry-the-controversy-over-moriarty-tribunal-and-his-role-in-government-talks_arid-44274.html) by Justice Moriarty.
So, yeah.
The corruption levels are very high across the board. Ireland just got more sophisticated at it.
Bring back Bertie, he’ll get us higher up the list
Remember kids, it’s not corruption if you call it something else.
