The development of the new Ireland for Finance strategy has been informed by an extensive consultation process.

The Department of Finance launched the public consultation process in 2025. The consultation period ran from July to September 2025 receiving 57 submissions from a cross section of stakeholders in Ireland's financial services ecosystem including industry bodies, financial services firms, professional services firms and the skills and education sector.

Throughout the consultation period, 11 Ministerial roundtables were held with industry bodies from banking, financial services, fintech, insurance, investments and aircraft leasing associations. International stakeholder engagement occurred during a number of foreign visits by Minister of State Troy.

Officials are now in the process of finalising the new Ireland for Finance strategy. Once approved by Government, I anticipate publication of the strategy to occur over the summer months.
