The National Risk Assessment provides an opportunity to identify and discuss significant risks that may arise for Ireland. Since it was first published in 2014, it has provided an overview of strategic risks and highlighted risks, such as Brexit, housing and pandemics.

The process is designed to ensure a broad-based and inclusive debate on risks facing the country. This includes publishing the draft for public consultation. There are also opportunities for stakeholders and Oireachtas members to contribute to the development of the final version.

The draft National Risk Assessment was published for consultation in July, and laid before the Oireachtas. Work is well advanced on finalising the National Risk Assessment 2021/2022, which will be published in the coming weeks.
