Michael McDowell (Dublin South East, Progressive Democrats)

I assure the Deputy it was presented to me this week. Second, I had intended to deal with the civil law (miscellaneous provisions) Bill, which involves a crackdown on arcades and the like that were breaking the law and with casinos. However, in view of the fact there seems to be a consensus that we should take a different approach and license some forms of gambling, the report was put in place. I must bring the report to Government and will publish it as quickly as I can, probably over the Easter recess. We will be able to discuss it on our return.
