Michael Healy-Rae (Kerry South, Independent) | Oireachtas source

I have grave reservations. The system that has been in place for many years has served us well and has worked. We will call it a safe form of gambling. Like Deputy McDonald, I am concerned that we are trying to fix something that is not broken. Unfortunately, that seems to be the Government's tendency. For example, local partnership companies are being broken up for no good reason. I am concerned about the Government's approach under this Bill. For that reason, I am not supportive of the Government's actions.
