Ireland establishes GRAI as gambling law provisions take effect
Ireland’s Department of Justice signed the first commencement order on Tuesday, bringing the Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland (GRAI) formally into existence. The order also brought the law’s first provisions into force; Paul Quinn was appointed chair and Anne Marie Caulfield will take up the chief executive role. The minister said the first licences under the law would be issued in 2025.
The GRAI’s establishment begins implementation of Ireland’s new gambling framework, including its licensing regime.
