Can Ms Bergin tell us whether the gambling industry has given a commitment to fund the trust?

I have questions for Dr. McAvoy and Dr. Reynolds. We have heard what Mr. Grant said. Whenever I watch more than 45 minutes of a premier league game the amount of gambling advertisements is staggering and every single ad at half-time seems to be gambling related. Beyond ending the sponsorship in sport what else can be done? Has the Institute of Public Health in Ireland done research into the impact that gambling ads on social media has on young people who are under-18 years?
