Joint Committee On Health

Impact of Covid-19 on Addiction Services: Discussion

Mr. Gerry Cooney:

The Deputy mentioned small steps and all those small steps are really important. Anything that makes it difficult for young people, especially, to gamble is an improvement. We are talking about people who are out of control. "Control" is an important word that is not highlighted enough. The young people we are seeing who are getting into difficulty with gambling have lost control and anything that takes back that control can only be a plus. Deputy Buckley raised some of these matters earlier too. This is about small but important steps.
