Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 26 April 2022
594. Deputy Duncan Smith asked the Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media if there are plans to introduce regulations for the growing e-sports sector in Ireland; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [20139/22]
View answerAs the Deputy states in his question, the video games which underpin e-sports are generally developed and run by the sector itself through video game studios. The development of and promotion of the sector are a matter for the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment.
My Department has no plans to introduce regulation for the e-sport sector as we have no role or remit in relation to e-sport.
