In September 2013, Government announced that it would publish annually a National Risk Assessment (NRA) the purpose of which is to offer a high level strategic overview of the risks (both financial and non-financial) which might have an adverse impact on Ireland's well-being. It is not intended to replicate detailed work on risk assessment and mitigation carried out by individual Departments and Agencies.
My Department co-ordinated preparation of a draft which was published in April 2014 for public consultation. A final National Risk Assessment for 2014 was published in October 2014.
Work has commenced on preparation of an updated National Risk Assessment for 2015 and I expect that a draft will be published in April.
