I move amendment No. 22:

In page 21, line 27, after “matter” to insert the following:

“, including at least a bi-annual meeting with the Gambling Regulatory Authority, and will produce an annual report on online gambling to be laid before the Houses of the Oireachtas on a yearly basis”.

The Bill was amended in the Seanad to include reference to gambling. This amendment seeks to strengthen the legislation in this regard. It is of vital importance the relationship between the two regulators is put on a statutory footing. Furthermore, a report can ensure the Oireachtas is fully informed on this important issue and can use this real-time data to formulate future policies and legislation.
