Ireland Establishes AI Office, Enacts Technical Bill to Implement EU AI Act
Ireland's Regulation of Artificial Intelligence Bill 2026 creates an independent AI Office and enforcement framework for the EU AI Act.
The Bill’s Purpose and Structure
The Regulation of Artificial Intelligence Bill 2026, once enacted, will give effect in Ireland to the EU Artificial Intelligence Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689). The Bill is structured in 10 Parts with 139 Sections and 4 Schedules, and functions as a technical implementing measure that does not add to the obligations placed on regulated entities by the EU Regulation.
Establishing Ireland’s AI Office
The Bill establishes Oifig IS na hÉireann (AI Office of Ireland) as an independent statutory body which will act as Ireland’s central coordinating authority for the implementation of the AI Act.
EU AI Act Context
The EU AI Act entered into force on 1 August 2024, with its provisions applying in a phased manner, and applies directly across all EU Member States.
Enforcement Framework
The Bill empowers Market Surveillance Authorities (MSAs) with a structured enforcement toolkit progressing from cooperative compliance (notices) to coercive measures (prohibition, seizure) and ultimately formal sanctions (fines and prosecution).
Two key Irish authorities have been granted enhanced powers: the Central Bank of Ireland will be able to use its existing administrative sanctions procedures for the AI Act via amendments to the Central Bank Act 1942. The CCPC is introducing a new general administrative sanctions procedure through amendments to the Competition and Consumer Protection Act 2014, to which the AI Act is being added.
