I wish to raise two items. There is a good deal of concern about the consolidation of the law on betting and gambling in Ireland. Therefore, when will the gambling control Bill be brought before the House?

Will the Taoiseach provide for an exemption from the property tax for radon affected houses in the same way that homes affected by pyrite have been exempted?

That is a separate matter altogether and not one for the Order of Business.

The Taoiseach may wish to answer.

The gambling control Bill will be published later this year. Radon is a naturally occurring gas. It is an issue for local authorities in terms of the granting of planning permission. There are opportunities to rectify the matter.
