The National Risk Assessment provides an opportunity to identify and discuss significant strategic risks which may arise for Ireland. The most recent National Risk Assessment was published in September 2024 and remains valid today.

My Department is currently reflecting on the National Risk Assessment process with a view to producing the next iteration in 2026.

However, it is important to note that the National Risk Assessment is just one element of the overall system of preparedness and resilience planning for Ireland and is not intended to replicate or displace the detailed risk management and preparedness carried out across Departments and Agencies. It is however an important opportunity to reflect on strategic risks facing the country in the years ahead.
