Ireland Targets Prediction Markets | Cork News

Ireland’s gambling watchdog is cracking down hard on prediction markets, declaring them illegal gambling and forcing major platforms to block Irish users—or face court action. Regulator CEO Anne Marie Caulfield has already pressured one top site to geoblock Ireland, with another reportedly following suit within hours. Warning letters are flying, and non-compliance could lead to High Court orders, site shutdowns, and funding seizures. The move comes amid growing concerns over unregulated crypto bets tied to a Dublin by-election, as the government seeks to bring these “Wild West” markets under control.

Fast E-Scooters Pulled for Kids Safety | Cork News

Major online retailers including Amazon Ireland, Decathlon, and AliExpress are removing e-scooters that exceed 20 km/h amid growing pressure from lawmakers and public safety concerns, especially after reports of severe injuries in children. TD Michael Murphy commended Amazon’s move and called on others to follow suit, stressing that child safety outweighs profit. The Green Party’s Roderic O’Gorman welcomed the delistings but noted that faster scooters are still available in toy stores for kids as young as six. With coalition leaders set to meet, urgent legislation is being pushed to ban sales of scooters to under-16s and those over 20 km/h, highlighting a critical focus on protecting children from dangerous, fast-moving devices.
