The United Nations Convention Against Corruption was signed on behalf of Ireland when that Instrument opened for signature in December 2003. There are certain legislative measures required to be in place before Ireland can proceed with ratification, and it is intended that the arrangements will be made for ratification of this Convention, as soon as the Prevention of Corruption (Amendment) Bill 2008, which is currently under consideration by the Oireachtas, has been enacted.
