In light of the very significant job announcement which will be made later today in Dublin, when will the proposed Betting (Amendment) Bill come before the House? The additional revenues that will accrue to the State arising out of measures contained in that Bill will be ring-fenced for the horse racing industry, which is in much need of resources at the moment.

I join with Deputy Walsh in welcoming the jobs announcements this week, which are very significant. Kerry Group announced 900 new jobs earlier in the week and Paddy Power announced 600 new jobs today. The Betting (Amendment) Bill has actually been published but it is expected that there will be some amendments made to it and that will be done as the Bill is progressing through the House.
