I am all for enforcing the law but I have a problem with the manner in which the Minister of State is going about this. First of all, as Deputy Chambers noted, the Gambling Control Bill should have introduced long before now. If it had been, we probably would not have this problem. However, because the Government has been lax in its approach to this area, somebody will lose out. Is that not a fact?
