The Global Corruption Barometer is an annual survey that measures ordinary people’s experiences of corruption in over 80 countries around the world. Ireland is included among those countries for the first time in three years. The contributors to this event will offer their insights on why this may be and will also offer potential ways forward on what is a critical issue for Irish society.
