When will we see publication of an updated gambling control Bill to address issues relating to the outdated gambling legislation? This is now affecting legitimate traders, as the Acts do not really cater for online gambling or the modern way gambling has developed. The Ceann Comhairle has given much latitude on the homelessness issue and indicated that it does not arise on the Order of Business but perhaps we could benefit from a debate about how Dublin City Council finds itself with a shortfall.

Thank you.

By the same token it cut its property tax rate. It is a housing authority but does not have the same funding available. That puts pressure on commercial rate payers in the delivery of Dublin City Council's mandate.

That is a distraction.

Fine Gael wants higher property taxes in Dublin now.

I do not have a date for the gambling control Bill. It is a complex area but I will update Deputy Mulherin on the progress made.
