Government publishes Draft National Risk Assessment 2016
The Government has today published the draft National Risk Assessment 2016 – Overview of Strategic Risks.
This sets out a draft list of strategic risks, both financial and non-financial, which Ireland faces, with a view to stimulating public debate on those risks and what are the appropriate responses.
Taoiseach Enda Kenny said that 'as Ireland is a small island nation exposed to global trends and forces, gains can quickly dissipate unless risks are openly acknowledged and addressed'.
The draft list of risks has been prepared following collaboration across Government Departments.
Submissions on the draft list of risks identified are being sought and can be made to nra@taoiseach.gov.ie by Friday 8th July. These can respond to a number of questions listed in the document, including nomination of additional strategic risks warranting inclusion.
