Ireland’s GRAI begins statutory operations under gambling law
Ireland’s Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland began operating on a statutory basis on 5 March, following commencement of provisions in the Gambling Regulation Act 2024. Justice Minister Jim O’Callaghan appointed seven authority members, and the regulator is expected to open some licence applications within the coming year; the source reported €9.1m in funding for the current year.
Operators preparing to seek Irish licences must account for the regulator’s statutory launch and expected application process.
