Ireland’s Minister for Justice, Helen McEntee TD, will deliver the opening address for next month’s Women in FinCrime Summit, it has just been announced.
In celebration of International Women’s Day (IWD), the third Women in FinCrime Summit will bring together outstanding leaders and regulators from around the world.
The event will have two plenary sessions – timed for European and US audiences.
Minister McEntee has been a member of the Irish Government since 2013. Her previous positions include Minister of State for European Affairs from 2017 to 2020, and Minister of State for Mental Health and Older People from 2016 to 2017.
During her term as Minister for Justice, Minister McEntee has said she will focus on tackling financial and economic crime. She is the fourth woman to hold this position in the history of Ireland.
Minister McEntee was a headline speaker during AML Intelligence’s Women in FinCrime congress last spring.
