Politicians should face “fixed fines” for not fully or properly declaring or disclosing all of their interests, a Government review into Ireland’s ethics laws has found.
The review has also called for senior ministers and Government officials to be required to disclose more detailed information about their interests and liabilities, including their spouses' interests.
The Standards in Public Office Commission (SIPO) has called for additional powers and for existing ethics laws to be reformed since the mid-200s.
