I know Dr. Fulton's focus is on the health aspects. What about the Government's efforts to control the gambling issue and proposals in that area? Many large companies operate their servers offshore and thereby make it more complicated for the Government to control. Other countries operate IP blocking for unlicensed online operators and taking such an approach here would mean that companies would have to get an Irish licence to be used by Irish customers. In that sense, the customer could be protected by whatever regulatory regime is contained in the Gambling Control Bill when we get it. Has Dr. Fulton any thoughts on that? It might be outside her remit and, if it is, I am sorry, but has she done any detailed research as to how a regulation could be implemented to tackle online operators?
