Ms Sharon Byrne:

I do not have the exact figures for the Senator off the top of my head. Along with our codes of practice and training developed over the past ten to 14 years, we have created what is called a social responsibility folder. Inside that we have put a template for the four pillars of social responsibility, including that the activity should not include those under 18, tackling problem gambling and measures against money laundering. In each section we have categories of data the operator should be recording when the bookmaker's intervention occurred. To be clear, that is not an addiction expert intervention.

The information would be provided when were are spoken to, if they had signed up to the exclusion register. If someone signs a self-exclusion form in a shop and provides a photo, that is immediate and that bookmaker would then circulate this to their branches close by to make sure the staff know that this particular punter is excluded. I have provided the operators with as many tools and guides as I possibly can, but not all operators are members of my association. I am not a regulator so I cannot force them. I can only do my best to provide them with as much information as I can. Perhaps Ms Murphy or the others would like to speak to how many they have. Perhaps they would be privy to those numbers.
