Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

General Scheme of the Gambling Regulation Bill: Discussion

Mr. Conor Grant:

I have two quick points. First, I fully endorse the Deputy's views on the need for strong regulation, particularly in respect of self-exclusion schemes. My second point relates to his question on online advertising, which has not been answered. We specifically target those aged over 25. We work with the firms to which the Deputy referred and we have targeted those aged over 25. We also have what we call industry negative keyword lists. We eliminate certain words that we know that can cause people issues and we focus hard on this because it is very important.
