Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (19 Apr 2021)

Regina Doherty: I thank colleagues for raising a wide variety of topics. I could not agree more with Senator Wall. I read with interest this morning our plans to ban the current practice of bookies being able to ask people to come in and bet, on a reduced number of numbers, on either a EuroMillions or a weekly lotto draw.
