On 29 October 2026, the Council of Europe Group of States Against Corruption (GRECO) published the Fifth Evaluation Round Second Compliance 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).
This Second Compliance Report assesses the measures taken by the Irish authorities to implement the recommendations made in the Fifth Round Evaluation Report on Ireland, which was adopted by GRECO at its 91st plenary meeting (13-17 June 2022) and made public on 16 February 2023, following authorisation by Ireland. The first Compliance Report was adopted by GRECO at its 97th plenary meeting (17-21 June 2024) and made public on 24 September 2024, following authorisation by Ireland.
