My final question concerns the gambling control Bill. The advertisements for betting and all that sort of stuff that are being broadcast at the moment and were broadcast over Christmas on the radio and on television are hugely manipulative and persuasive. It is just wrong that free bets are being offered to people to entice them into this harmful and addictive activity. This issue has been on the agenda for the past two years.

To which Bill does the Deputy refer?

I am speaking about the gambling control Bill. The Government is doing nothing while people are losing their houses and families are being destroyed. It is wrong that the Government has put this on the long finger for the past two years. I invite the Tánaiste to listen to the advertisements. Does she listen to the radio? Does she watch television? They are shocking.

The Deputy has asked his question.

This is the most addictive form of destruction.

Hear, hear.

Everybody in the House is deeply concerned about the safety of Ibrahim Halawa, who is a young man.

The Government should do something.

The Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade, Deputy Charles Flanagan, met the Egyptian ambassador to Ireland yesterday. Obviously, the key problem here is that the trial and the legal processes keep being postponed.

The Government needs to get tough.

Unfortunately, they have been put back again. The Government is certainly exerting all of the pressure it can with contacts at a high intergovernmental level-----

It is ineffective and hopeless.

-----to press the Egyptian authorities to provide for the safe return of this young man to his family and to his home in Ireland.

American and Australian people have been released.

The Deputy also asked about the gambling Bill. Like many people in Ireland, I enjoy racing. I agree that there are numbers of people with gambling problems and that there are serious newer forms of social media-based gambling. However, the gambling legislation referred to by the Deputy is unlikely to come before the House in the near or short term.
