‹ Order of Business Gambling advertising regulation
Summary
Deputy Mathews condemns intensive gambling advertising and free-bet promotions as harmful and addictive; the Taoiseach says the Gambling Control Bill is on the agenda but offers no firm timetable.
My second question concerns the Gambling Control Bill. The advertising intensity over the Christmas period was nothing short of shameful. It is harmful and addictive, and gambling companies are giving people free bets. It is like giving out free cigarettes. It is wrong.
