Ms Sharon Byrne:

I did a quick search of the gambling Bill while the Deputy was speaking. There is no result for "fixed odds betting terminal" and I do not recall it. Our shops need to develop in line with technology and customer demand but to do so safely. That is where a regulator is important. He or she will be armed with the latest research and figures in an Irish context and will be able to recommend safe products which licensed members can offer to customers safely.
