Ms Sharon Byrne:

I echo everything Ms Murphy said and would add one critically important point to my earlier response to Deputy Gould. It relates to self-exclusion and the fact that there is no central, online database for exclusion for online operators in Ireland. While there may be no central database, there is an option for customers to self-exclude. They will not get on with the online operators once they exclude on the site. The setting is instant. It takes approximately five seconds to select and save it. There are protections there but there just is no central database for online operators yet. We really welcome the regulator bringing that in, as well as all of the other measures this committee is proposing.
