Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

No Government decision has been made in respect of the first matter raised by the Deputy. As the Deputy is aware, a report has been prepared in the Department of Justice and Law Reform on these matters to get a more modern framework for the Gaming and Lotteries Act 1956. There is a question as to whether resort tourism should be catered for in that context as well and that is an issue for a report from the Department.
