Tánaiste launches Ireland’s first national anti-money laundering strategy
Tánaiste and Minister for Finance Simon Harris launched Ireland’s first National Anti-Money Laundering Strategy on Thursday.
The strategy looks to strengthen Ireland’s anti-money laundering framework and deliver a whole-of-government approach to preventing criminals, fraudsters and terrorist financiers from exploiting Ireland’s financial system.
The Tánaiste said it sends a clear message that Ireland will continue to take a robust approach to tackling organised crime, strengthening financial integrity and maintaining the country’s reputation as one of the safest and most trusted places in Europe to do business.
The National Anti-Money Laundering Strategy is built around strategic priorities which include:
● Strengthening national coordination;
● Better identifying and understanding financial crime risks;
● Delivering a stronger regulatory framework;
● Building capability across Government and the private sector and enhancing international cooperation.
