The United Nations Convention Against Corruption was signed on behalf of Ireland when the Convention was opened in December 2003. Before Ireland can proceed with ratification of this Instrument, there are certain legislative measures required to be in place. As soon as the Prevention of Corruption (Amendment) Bill 2008, which is currently awaiting Committee Stage in the Dáil, has been enacted, it is intended that the appropriate arrangements will be made for ratification of the Convention.
