Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

General Scheme of the Gambling Regulation Bill: Discussion

Mr. Martin Le Jeune:

Okay. I think is absolutely correct to say that just taking UK data and applying them to the situation in the State would be rash. One of the reasons people around this table are in favour of having a regulator is that it would have the ability to raise those data. It is as simple as that and I am not disputing the possibility that the comparisons may not be 100% valid because I do not know.
