It provides for a new streamlined, simplified and coherent licensing framework \u2013 one that reflects the nature of gambling in modern society and addresses the proliferation of digital gambling activities and advertising in recent years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy officials and I have engaged in extensive consultation with representatives from the industry, the charity sector, related sectors as well as with professionals working in the area of problem gambling, persons adversely affected by the consequences of gambling and those with lived experience of problem gambling. We have worked hard to get this right and the position taken in the proposed legislation has been robustly reinforced by the findings of a comprehensive ESRI study on problem gambling, gambling behaviours and the perception of gambling in Ireland\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the Bill is enacted, the GRAI will be established with a seven-person authority. A Programme Board has been established in the Department of Justice to ensure that the legislation and the operational preparations are progressed in parallel, allowing the Authority to commence operations, on a phased basis, as soon as possible after enactment and appointment of the Authority members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/assets\/international\/new-gambling-bill-to-streamline-strengthen-and-modernize-gambling-in-ireland3.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ms Anne Marie Caulfield,<\/strong> who has been appointed to the role of CEO Designate of the Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland and has been progressing important preparatory work and said: \u201cThe passage of the Gambling Regulation Bill is an important milestone towards the establishment of the Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland which will ensure a well-regulated gambling sector while protecting the public from gambling harms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhile we have a lot of preparatory work done, we will have a phased introduction of our functions, with a focus on licensing initially. As CEO designate of the new Authority, I am determined to ensure that licensees operate in accordance with the legislation while also fulfilling our mandate to establish safeguards to address problem gambling. We are also committed to engaging with stakeholders as we establish this new regulatory regime for Ireland\u2019s gambling and gaming sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of Budget 2025 announced on 1st October, the GRAI will receive \u20ac9.1m in 2025, including \u20ac4m of ICT capital investment. Minister Browne added: <em>\u201cI am conscious that many people have strong views on the issue of gambling, and I believe that this Bill is designed to meet the challenges of gambling responsibly in 21st century Ireland.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Minister of State at the Department of Justice with responsibility for Law Reform, James Browne TD, welcomed the passage of the Gambling Regulation Bill 2022 through both Houses of the Oireachtas, in Ireland, last week.
