Calls to fill the roles of the newly-established Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland (GRAI) have been put out by the Minister of State for the Department of Justice, James Browne.
GRAI…is currently looking for a Chairperson and six ‘ordinary members’ to kick off the statutory body’s licensing and regulatory duties in Ireland.
Some of the primary objectives will include the regulation of advertising, gambling websites and apps, and the supervision of online and in-person gambling with the goal of improving public safety and wellbeing.
The process of establishing the new regulatory body is part of the Gambling Bill of Ireland (GRB), Ireland’s attempt to modernise its gambling framework which dates back to 1931.
