I am sure that the Taoiseach is aware that we have the highest gambling losses in the world per head of population and the third highest for online gambling. I believe there is a hidden problem that we need to shine a light on. We have learned from our discussions on the Public Health (Alcohol) Bill that when we shine a light on an issue people feel able to come forward. The gambling control Bill was first mooted in 2013. Five years on, can the Taoiseach indicate when we will have an opportunity to debate it and to highlight many of the issues that we would be aware of from our constituency clinics?
