I was just about to ask the Minister of State about our capacity to capture all online betting transactions. Some of those involved have operations in Ireland whereas others do not. Anyone can watch a football match, see the adverts on the side of the pitch and place a bet online. Do we have the capacity to capture all such transactions and implement this tax? Is that the reason for the delay in this legislation? How close are we to having the capacity?
