General Scheme of the Gambling Regulation Bill: Discussion
Lynn Ruane (Independent) | Oireachtas source
Before getting to Mr. Le Jeune I have another quick question. There are data indicating people on lower incomes tend to play more and spend more than richer counterparts. I read that either in a submission or in the lead-up to today. When problem gambling is measured, is consideration given to the income of an individual? That is instead of setting a threshold at a particular amount for indicating something. It may not be appropriate if a person is on social welfare when compared with somebody earning €100,000 per year. Are the problem gambling identifiers varied relative to a person's position?
