      Any wonder, we have the two most corrupt parties joined forces to keep another corrupt party out!!

      Ireland’s primary anti-corruption measure seems to be getting social media teams deploying Hanlon’s Razor at every opportunity.

      Just to note that Ireland scores extremely well on corruption indexes, both in terms of public perception, and that of business and industry.

      When surveyed, businesses in Ireland reported us as [the fourth best in the EU](https://europa.eu/eurobarometer/api/deliverable/download/file?deliverableId=87726).

      With regard to the Greco anti-corruption measures, it is not expected that all measures will be fully complied with immediately : many of them will take significant reform and in some cases legislative changes.

      Ireland has implemented one recommendation fully, 4 partially and 13 not implemented yet.

      For comparison :

      Germany, has also implemented only one of the recommendations, with five partials and 8 not implemented yet.

      France has implemented 2 of the recommendations, with ten partials and 6 not implemented yet.

      I actually think it’s not the elected politicians who are the biggest problem but the unelected bureaucrats who have so much control and they have history of favoritism (aka corruption) and it has been normalized I will say.

      I will use my council (SDCC) as an example: planning included a creche. The builder proposed to convert that to two apartments. Even with support from cllr and TDs, SDCC officials approved it. Cllrs told us they didn’t really have control over these.

      I’m not surprised that a government that has FF in it is a light touch when it comes to corruption.
