Irish ministerial code of conduct?

flogen

There's been lots of talk in the UK media lately about John Prescott and his visit to the ranch of US Billionaire Phil Anschutz, whom just happens to be looking to re-develop the Millenium Dome into a super-casino; the bulk of the questions revolve around the UK "Ministerial Code of Conduct" and ask if Prescott broke it by not declaring his visit etc.

I'm just wondering is there an Irish version of this code of conduct (besides all those unwritten rules of what you do and don't do), or is it just a case of whatever goes?

`None whatsoever'.

Now then; criminal record...

Baldrick: Absolutely not.

Edmund: Oh, come on, Baldrick, you're going to be an MP, for God's sake! I'll just put `fraud and sexual deviancy'. Now; minimum bribe level...

It simply boils down to "don't get caught."
