‹ Order of Business Betting (Amendment) Bill
Summary
Seán Ó Fearghaíl asks about the Betting (Amendment) Bill and its implications for the horse and greyhound fund; the Taoiseach says Cabinet approved it and expects publication that week.
Like Deputy Dooley, I would like to ask about the Government's priorities. The betting (amendment) Bill, which was supposed to be published in this term, will amend the Betting Act 1931. It is fair to say it has particularly profound implications for the horse and greyhound fund. It has the potential to relieve pressure on the Exchequer. What is the current status of the Bill? Will it be published?
