TI Ireland Statement on Sunday Independent 'Whistleblower' article

Dublin - 22 April 2012



Transparency International Ireland (TI Ireland) has said the revelations published by the Sunday Independent today will help focus attention on the need for wide-reaching reform of the systems that allowed our economy to collapse. The reports of how repeated advice from a civil servant on the risk of over-heating in the economy was dismissed, should not only help shine a light on events leading to the financial crisis, but also inform new legislation aimed at preventing the same thing happening again.
