Gambling control Bill

Summary

Ray Butler asks when gambling law will be consolidated; the Taoiseach says the Bill is unlikely before the latter half of next year.

The heads of that Bill were cleared last July but I think it will be the latter half of next year before it comes to light. It is a complicated process.
