How Did the Irish Video Game Industry Perform During 2024?
OVER the past few years, the video game industry in Ireland has been steadily growing for reasons we will be discussing here. The iGaming industry, which encompasses professional video gaming events, aka eSports events, is also on the rise, plus more people than ever are enjoying playing on legally permitted casino sites with thousands of computer-generated and live dealer games from various award-winning software providers and game development studios. Let's dive straight in and take a closer look at how the Irish video game industry performed during 2024 and whether it fell short of or exceeded industry analyst expectations. Did the video game industry in Ireland perform well in 2024? Yes. The video game industry in Ireland had its best-ever year in 2024, generating well over €600 million in revenue. By the end of 2027, expert analysts project that technologies like cloud gaming will help push this figure even higher to around €810 million. According to the latest reports, more than half of all Irish adults actively participate in one form of gaming from their preferred consoles, smartphones, tablets, laptops, or desktop computers, and they play everything from triple-A blockbuster video games to online slot machines and from casual/Indie games to puzzlers and sports simulation video games. Which video game companies are based in Ireland? Ireland is home to several small independent game development studios and software providers, as well as much larger, more well-established gaming companies. Examples of video game companies with offices in Ireland are the following: Riot Games Activision WarDucks Demonware EA Playrix Pewter Games Studios Havok Others include Virtuous, Keyword Studios, DIGIT Game Studios, Boon Studios Lt, Wildlife Studios, Squareroot Solutions, and Romero Games, to name a few. Why is Ireland's video game industry such a success? Ireland's video game industry is a huge success and is currently performing better than expected due to several key factors. For example, Ireland is now home to a growing pool of talented and highly skilled individuals, a well-matured tech scene that's hospitable to startup companies, plenty of support from the government via several initiatives, and an ever-expanding gaming culture. Over the past few years, Ireland has repositioned itself as a rising hub in the global gaming scene, and the future looks promising. Tax credits and other incentives, supportive government policies, and local and international investment have all helped the gaming industry in Ireland reach extraordinary new heights.

Singer Enya spotted in public for the first time in EIGHT years as reclusive star makes rare trip outside £98m castle
ENYA has been spotted for the first time in eight years after becoming notorious for her reclusive lifestyle. The Irish vocalist spends much of her time hunkered down in her vast Victorian castle near Advertisement 6 Singer Enya has been spotted in public for the first time in EIGHT years Credit: Facebook 6 The Caribbean Blue hitmaker, 64, attended a wedding in Donegal Credit: Facebook 6 She lives a reclusive life in a castle near Dublin Credit: News Group Newspapers Ltd Yet a new snap has seen the 64-year-old Caribbean Blue hitmaker stepping out from her stunning £98million compound, which she bought in 1997, for a night out. The vocalist could be seen smiling as she posed for a picture with a bunch of others. She could be seen donning a black lace top and flowing yellow skirt, accessorising with a silver bracelet. The chart star, famed for tracks including Orinoco Flow and Only Time, styled her brunette hair poker straight with a wispy fringe. Advertisement read more enya She kept her make-up fresh as she attended a wedding at Drumhalla House in Donegal on May 16. Fans were quick to gush over the fresh snap on Reddit, which marked her last public appearance since the Grammy's in 2017. One wrote: "Glad to see them and Enya doing well." A second posted: "Omg, I'm so happy to see her finally," as a third put: "Good to see our Enya." Advertisement Most read in Music One loyal fan then added: "I recognise her outfit from this 2016 performance of Orinoco Flow in Japan edit: and Enya's live US performance of Echoes in Rain — re-worn very stylishly." Another mused: "She looks so lovely here, but girl drop the mixtape already omg it's been 10 years." One simply put: "She looks stunning." GOING SOLO Enya's isolated life with her cats has been well-documented. Advertisement We previously reported how she also bans herself from listening to other artists' music and once claimed to have never bought an album — to keep her own work as original as possible. She spends nearly all her waking hours with a much older married couple who for 30 years have helped create her eerie, warbling music. Songs are painstakingly put together, often overdubbed with vocals more than 500 times. They are sung in a bizarre mix of languages. Advertisement Initially a mixture of English and Gaelic, she now records in Sindarin and Quenya, both created by author JRR Tolkien, and Loxian — which she invented herself with her songwriters. ENYA'S HISTORY Eithne Ní Bhraonáin, in Gweedore, Co Donegal, Ireland, she grew up as one of nine siblings. She was a shy child who loved playing the piano and singing, later explaining how the pandemonium of a large family instilled her lifelong love of being alone and describing silence as a luxury. At 19 she joined her family's band, Celtic music group Clannad, on synth and backing vocals. Advertisement She left two years later, moving into the Dublin home of Nicky Ryan, 69, the group's producer, and his wife Roma, 61. Following her acrimonious split from Clannad, the three wrote music together, culminating in her 1987 self-titled debut album. But it was with the release of second LP Watermark the following year that she entered the stratosphere. Featuring her best-known track, Orinoco Flow (Sail Away), it shifted 11million copies worldwide. Since then the trio have worked closely on a string of albums which have quietly sold by the bucketload. Advertisement She has won four Grammys and got an Oscar nod, for her work on the Lord Of The Rings soundtrack. The single star previously spoke of her isolated life, music success and juggling love and said: "I am single, yes. "But as the song suggests, there have been… relationships. It's quite hard to have someone accept that – well, not that they are second to the music, but that I do need a certain amount of space for it." She added to the Advertisement "It's difficult." 6 The Orinoco Flow and Only Time singer has achieved huge chart success Credit: Handout 6 She has won four Grammy Awards Credit: Getty - Contributor 6 She previously told how any relationship would come second to her music Credit: AFP Advertisement
