Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

General Scheme of the Gambling Regulation Bill: Discussion

Ms Jackie Murphy:

On the question about under-18s in retail, we record every challenge to customers that we believe are under 21 and who do not provide ID. That is recorded in the folder that Ms. Byrne referred to earlier. Not serving anyone under 21 is a key part of the four pillars under which we operate. Every operator would be able to provide details on the number of challenges but that data is not collated at industry level.

In terms of closing remarks, I would say that we are all looking forward to working with the regulator to come up with regulation that is proportionate, evidence based and that does what we all set out to do, which is to protect those who need it most.
