National Risk Assessment 2019: Brexit among top risks facing Ireland
The Government published the National Risk Assessment in August, which focussed on the most substantial threats to the Irish public and economy in 2019. The report outlined socioeconomic risks such as affordable housing, pensions and Ireland’s ageing population, and also mentioned geopolitical risks of Brexit, international tax changes and the risk of the economy overheating. Climate change and issues of cyber security also featured in the report.
