Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

General Scheme of the Gambling Regulation Bill: Discussion

Mr. Colm Finlay:

-----if you have that mobile phone, as the Acting Chairman rightly pointed out, that is pretty much betting 365, 24-7 in every aspect of your being. Going back to the Acting Chairman's question, people are coming back to retail across all age ranges. I see this in my own shops. If we say that betting shops can no longer advertise, we will cause more shops to close and then these people will find alternative avenues through which to place their bets.
