A committee of senators debated Ireland’s Gambling Regulation Bill 2022 last week, raising concerns over gambling advertising and pushing the bill towards completion.

The Republic of Ireland’s long-awaited Gambling Regulation Bill 2022 is in its final stages before being passed into law, after being debated by a committee in the Irish senate Seanad Éireann on 25 and 26 September.

The bill was first represented to the house on 2 December 2022 and sought to create a regulated online gambling market in Ireland with a new statutory authority to regulate the market called the Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland.
