My Department produced guidance on risk management for Departments and offices earlier this year and the text is available on my department's website www.finance.gov.ie. The document gives guidance on risk management and does not deal with specific risks. I have no doubt Departments and offices will follow this guidance as they proceed with the implementation of decentralisation.
In addition to these guidelines, the decentralisation implementation group appointed by the Government, requested all decentralising organisations to prepare an implementation plan and requested that each plan incorporate specific risk assessment and mitigation strategies.
