I did say at the beginning of my remarks that the regulation of this area is very fragmented and that is why a regulatory authority will bring regulation together under one body. Again, I must stress that even countries with strong regulators still have problem gambling and addiction. That is a health matter and the expertise resides there. We can work to make it fairer for people who get involved in gambling activity but if it is a health matter, it is the remit of the Department of Health and the HSE.
