Mr. Colm Finlay:

I do not have a closing statement as such but would urge the committee to take cognisance of technological improvements that are coming on stream in both the online and retail environments. I am speaking from an online perspective. I am aware that a Bill was drafted previously but technological advancements meant that it had to be redrafted to reflect the new technological landscape. As I have pointed out previously, retail is going to be subject to increased digitisation in terms of point of sale, various points of consumption for customers and so on. New tools will enable retail to get its hands on the type of data that the online market is using to implement better policies around problem gambling, money laundering and age verification.
