The Irish Government has an important role in combating Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing. A robust framework for Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) is vital for ensuring the security and stability of Ireland’s financial system and economy. It helps to ensure that the economy is protected from corruption by illicit funds and allows Irish businesses avoid the burden of extra obligations which arise for those operating in a country identified as having deficiencies in their AML/CFT frameworks. Our trade partners and investors are assured that Ireland is a safe place to do business.

The Government leads in the development of policies to prevent, detect and investigate Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing. Much of our input on this is at a collective EU and international level. General information on Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing may be found at: https://www.amlcompliance.ie/money-laundering-terrorist-financing-are-you-aware/...
