Michael McDowell (Dublin South East, Progressive Democrats)

The Taoiseach will be in contact with the relatives of the victims of the Stardust tragedy in the near future. I had a conversation with him about it a couple of days ago. The Civil Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2006 is currently before the House and it deals with the issue of gaming and lotteries. Fixed odds gaming machines are illegal and they are liable to be seized from anyone who installs them.
