I note the Minister of State's frustration and I acknowledge that the Bill is on Report Stage, but I think he has conflated some of the issues and it is only right that he should reflect on them and maybe look to change them. A serious problem has been highlighted to him. As for problem gambling, as others and I have spoken about, fundraising for clubs is not where that is occurring. That has been highlighted and the Minister of State must recognise it.

He wants to solve one problem, but let us not create another.

As Deputy Gould said, the Minister of State needs to consider a gambling block. He needs to consider the companies whose domains are hosted outside the EU and whose online gambling activities will not be affected regardless of what he does with this legislation. He should at least introduce a gambling block with the banks.
