This question concerns the prevalence of gambling advertising in sport, an issue that is very visible in Britain in particular with the soccer premiership and even in the lower tiers of the sport. Is that an area that Dr. Fulton believes needs legislative restriction? I welcome that the GAA has voluntarily introduced a ban on gambling companies sponsoring teams. Does she believe that there is a need for restrictions on gambling firms for that kind of advertisement of sport teams?
