Members may be interested in Ireland’s National Risk Assessment on Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Proliferation Financing (NRA) which the Irish Dept. of Finance (DoF) published on 18 June 2026.
The NRA provides a comprehensive, system-wide evaluation of the threats and vulnerabilities facing Ireland and will strengthen understanding of these risks across both the public and private sectors, supporting the development of targeted and effective mitigation measures.
DoF also published a new Priority Action Implementation Plan which contains 30 action plans designed to strengthen Ireland’s response to financial crime. The Plan contains practical measures focused on for example protecting people and supporting law enforcement. Key measures include stronger intelligence sharing between agencies and enhanced safeguards around crypto-assets and digital finance and tougher anti-money laundering measures in the area of gambling, and increased transparency around company ownership.
