The Department of the Taoiseach co-ordinates production of the National Risk Assessment, which is a high level overview of strategic risks facing the country.

Since 2014 this has been completed on an annual basis. Each year, my Department prepares a draft overview of strategic risks, based on input from all relevant Departments. This draft National Risk Assessment is then published for consultation in order to facilitate public and stakeholder engagement about strategic risks facing the country. Following consideration of submissions, the draft is then updated and finalised by my Department, in consultation with other Departments.

The final National Risk Assessment for 2016 was approved by the Government and published in October. It includes information on how all submissions received were considered in the preparation of the final National Risk Assessment document for 2016.
