On the betting legislation, I am happy to tell the Deputy that a Bill dealing with this was enacted on 15 March. Therefore, it is now in the process of implementation. The Deputy's points in respect of the problems associated with gambling in all forms, including online, are well made.

In regard to a reduction in the term of bankruptcy, the Government is currently examining a series of proposals and is awaiting a report on the operation of the Insolvency Service of Ireland. I anticipate we will report to the House on that shortly after Easter.
