The Gaming and Lotteries (Amendment) Bill was in the Seanad last evening. The Gambling Control Bill will provide for licensed casinos. Private members clubs will be able to apply for casino licences under that. We have a Bill before the Seanad at the moment. Again, I do not want to pre-empt any debate that might occur there. It will come in here later on. No change will occur in the current situation until that Bill is passed and enacted. I will welcome Deputies' views and amendments when it comes here. It is in the mix. We have published it. It passed Second Stage in the Seanad last evening.
