Office of the Revenue Commissioners: Engagement
Mr. Niall Cody:
-----or a promise. If that is wanted, it is not a problem. On the second-hand cars, the issue does not relate to trade-ins and purchases. It is specifically about second-hand cars being brought in from Britain. That is the issue.
Regarding gaming and resources, as we said, we are not responsible for the regulation of gaming and gambling. There are many views about aspects of the Gambling Regulation Bill 2022. This is me breaking the rules and straying into policy areas. It is important the gambling sector be regulated in an up-to-date manner. If everyone cannot have all their interests dealt with in the one go, the reality is, if there is a gambling regulator, it can always be revisited at various times. If this opportunity is not taken, I am afraid we might spend another 14 years talking about what we should have.
