Online betting levy

Summary

Deputy Ó Ríordáin asks when the online betting levy Bill will appear and whether its proceeds will avoid the horse and greyhound fund; the Taoiseach will provide the details later.

The Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine stated recently that the Bill to bring about a levy on online betting will be coming before the House very soon. I would like to know when that will be. He also indicated that the levy would not go to the horse and greyhound fund because all levies on bets currently placed in Ireland go directly to that fund. I would like the Taoiseach's assurance that that will not happen with this new levy on online betting.

I will have to come back to the Deputy on that matter. I do not have the detail on when we can expect it. The decision has been made, however, and I will let the Deputy know in due course.
