The Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland has already cost more than $2.1 million, even though it isn't yet operational.
Legislative delays have hindered the establishment of the body; however, the Gambling Regulation Bill 2022 appears to be nearing completion.
The figures, which originate from the Irish Department of Justice, show that €161,000 was spent in 2022 on getting ready to establish the authority, €1.63 million was spent in 2023, and €303,000 was spent this year up until March.
