Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

A risk register is a requirement under the code of practice for governance. It is probably fair to say the register is not a precise science. It is really about requiring an organisation to look at the specific risks that arise in its business. One check on the adequacy of the risk register is whether what happens, and the response to what happens, has been foreseen in the risk register as it goes. I think this has come up with organisations such as An Garda Síochána.
