Earlier, Dr. Byrne talked about corruption being sexy. It can be on TV. In Ireland, is our threshold for accepting unethical or improper behaviour in politicians higher or lower than in other countries, for example the UK? I will cite the Andrew Mitchell "Plebgate" incident which was a resignation issue there. Do we have a higher or lower threshold when it comes to those kinds of practices and standards in political life?
