Mr. Niall Cody:
There is a real challenge. I know legislation is before the Houses on the whole gaming and gambling sector. Unfortunately, it is an area that, because legislation has not been updated and modernised, people seem to think that Revenue is the sole regulator of the sector but we have a limited role in relation to licensing. We are very conscious that we have that role. I would be very happy if legislation was enacted to modernise the whole area and we could concentrate on the elements of the sector for which we are responsible.
