The Government approved the publication of the Gaming and Lotteries (Amendment) Bill 2019 on 20 March 2019. The Bill passed Second Stage in the Seanad last Tuesday and we are awaiting Committee Stage. The Government also approved the publication of the interdepartmental working group on the future licensing and regulation of gambling. A major public seminar on gambling reform will also happen shortly. In addition, we are also working on the heads of a Bill to put in place a gambling regulator and we will have that as soon as it is ready. I was before the Joint Committee on Justice and Equality in regard to this issue yesterday as well.
