You'd get quite a few pints of Guinness for this much lolly

Can Ireland give Italy a run for its money as the European capital of corruption?

They can if they can find more politicians like the late Charles Haughey the former Irish Taoiseach of Fianna Fáil. An Irish government investigation has found that he absconded with over €11.5 million of public money between 1979 and 1996. That's around €45 million in today's money.

If you're going to steal you should steal big and die before you get caught; both of which Mr. Haughey did.
