Gambling legislation

Summary

Ray Butler asked when betting legislation would be published and whether it would cover online casinos; the Taoiseach gave no date and said online casinos were excluded.

When is it expected to publish the legislation relating to betting on greyhound and horse racing? Will the relevant Bill make provision in respect of online casinos or will separate legislation be required? This is a major issue, particularly in light of the amount being gambled online.

We do not have a date for the introduction of the relevant legislation but it is not intended that it will include provision for online casinos.
