This report provides a summary of the AML/CFT measures in place in Ireland at July 2005 (the date of the on-site visit). The report describes and analyses those measures and provides recommendations on how certain aspects of the system could be strengthened. It also sets out Ireland’s levels of compliance with the FATF 40 + 9 Recommendations (see attached table on the Ratings of Compliance with the FATF Recommendations). The Irish Government recognises the need for an effective AML/CFT regime and is in the process of updating its ML/TF framework.
