The Government's provided us with this handy list of things to worry about
The department of the Taoiseach's produced an assessment of the risks — both financial and non-financial — faced by the country at the moment.
The reason? Better to be safe than sorry is, essentially, the sentiment behind the plan.
It was announced last year that the Government would publish a National Risk Assessment each year, to set out the risks faced by the country "and therefore ensure appropriate prevention and mitigation measures are introduced".
According to the document's preamble, it's part of a response "to failures in the past to identify and address risks beyond a short time horizon".
The causes of the recent economic crisis were rooted in financial and fiscal risks that were in some cases overlooked before the onset of the recession.
One of the most authoritative overviews of the decline in Ireland's fortunes has concluded that the absence of sufficient self-questioning lay at the heart of the underlying causes of the crisis.
Various institutions were too complacent about the sustainability of Ireland's new-found prosperity and failed to ask whether this could be maintained in the face of adversity.
Consequently, any effort to avoid a recurrence of the crisis or other catastrophic events must be partly based on a broad-based assessment of the risks that Ireland faces and which is grounded in evidence-based judgments.
