Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

General Scheme of the Gambling Regulation Bill: Discussion

Ms Sharon Byrne:

Currently it is not given to the 800 shops. This was trialled in the UK and it had issues with so many shops trying to remember so many people. One must remember that a betting shop could have 100 to 150 different faces per day coming in. For all staff to be able to remember all faces on the register would be impossible. It works a lot better when the local shops for that operator have the latest photo for their excluded customers.
