‹ Order of Business Family law and gambling legislation
Summary
Butler seeks dates for family-law, alcohol-control and gambling-control legislation, stressing online betting addiction; the Tánaiste has no family-law date, says alcohol-control heads are published, and expects gambling legislation later in the year.
When is the family law Bill expected, to consolidate with amendments all family legislation?
The alcohol control Bill is being introduced. When is publication of the gambling control Bill expected, to update and consolidate the law on betting and gambling? We have a serious problem with online betting and addiction. Serious restrictions have been introduced in Britain and we should look at it because everyone now has a mobile phone and an iPod and it is a serious problem.
