I urge that the gambling control Bill be published as soon as possible. An assurance was given to the Irish Amusement Trades Association that it would be brought forward early this year. We rely on legislation that is 50 to 80 years old and the business has moved on. There are anomalies on the definition and operation of such businesses and it has an effect on regulations for the proper running of such facilities and on legitimate taxpayers who run these businesses. There are gaps that undermine their business. The matter urgently needs attention.

I take the Deputy's comments on board as well as the additional insights she has brought to the problem. The Deputy is right. The legislation is very important. Although I do not have a date, it is not for want of work. It is moving ahead in the Department and it is complex.
