Jim O'Keeffe (Cork South West, Fine Gael)

In respect of the civil law (miscellaneous provisions) Bill and the question of casino clubs, the Minister backed off on his threat to close these clubs and set up a committee to look at the prospect of regulating them. I understand a report from that committee has been on his desk since last December. When will he publish the report and why has there been a delay in doing so? What are his intentions, if any, with regard to legislation on the matter before the end of this Dáil?
