‹ Order of Business Betting and horse-racing legislation
Summary
Martin Heydon asked about the Betting (Amendment) Bill and Horse Racing Ireland legislation. The Taoiseach said the betting Bill was progressing, while the horse-racing Bill was deferred until spring.
I wish to ask about two Bills. When will we see the Betting (Amendment) Bill, expanding income to the Exchequer from remote operators, which is long overdue? The second Bill is related although from a different Department. In light of the 2012 Indecon report on proposed changes to the Horse Racing Ireland Bill when will both Bills be taken in the House?
