As the Minister of State, is Deputy Stanton aware of the blatant breaches of the law within our city? I refer to unlicensed gaming machines where Part III of the 1956 Act has not been commenced. That is an issue for Revenue, our courts system and An Garda Síochána. What is being done at Government level to make sure that our statutory authorities uphold the law? The Department of Justice and Equality does have responsibility there, because there are lines of communication with each of those statutory bodies.
