I agree that we have to look at the stake and prize money. The Bill states a person who holds a gaming licence should not accept a stake from a person under the age of 18 years.

What enforcement is being done to ensure that these gaming establishments are not taking money from young people under 18 years of age? I do not know how any enforcement can be done whatsoever. This is part of the addiction problem. Is it the Department or the Garda which enforces this? As I said earlier, prevention is the best cure. It is okay reducing the stakes and the prize money. However, what are we doing to stop young people putting money in these gaming machines?
