General Scheme of the Gambling Regulation Bill: Discussion
Mr. Martin Le Jeune:
The Deputy's question explores a number of very complex issues and I welcome it. I will try to unpick the issues involved and give the Deputy an answer on each. Everybody around this table who provides gambling and betting services to Irish customers is 100% behind a regulator that will develop evidence-based regulation, tackle problems and look at some of the issues the Deputy has talked about. We want to operate in a well-regulated market because that would allow us to build a sustainable business over the longer term. We genuinely welcome the idea of a regulator who is going to take an evidence-based approach to the kinds of things the Deputy has talked about.
