Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Gambling Regulation Bill: Discussion (8 Mar 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I do not know why but it seems like Mr. Grant is getting annoyed with my question. Perhaps I am not able to understand him but it seems to me that he is saying that Flutter Entertainment identifies a total of 7,000 people a month as having a difficulty of some kind. It then makes use of a range of possible interventions, which he has described and which I have given him two opportunities to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Gambling Regulation Bill: Discussion (8 Mar 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: Is my time finished?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Gambling Regulation Bill: Discussion (8 Mar 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I had to step out to as I had another speaking commitment. I apologise if I repeat something or ask a question a colleague has asked earlier when I was not here. Further to what Senator Ward and the Acting Chair said, it is perfectly obvious that it is easier to bet on a phone. It is easier to book a flight on a phone. It is easier to buy groceries or a pair of shoes because it is there...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Gambling Regulation Bill: Discussion (8 Mar 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I did.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Gambling Regulation Bill: Discussion (8 Mar 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I understand. To have a regulator simply to generate data is an unfortunate reason to need it. The written submissions the witnesses have made show the effort by their organisations, some of which are extremely large, profitable, capable and sophisticated, in their research models, behavioural planning, attitudinal analysis and the psychology around all the different things behind that. It...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Gambling Regulation Bill: Discussion (8 Mar 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I understand the point Mr. Le Jeune is making. The point I am making about it is about the committee coming to this from a protection perspective. Having regard to the statements the witnesses have made, I am trying to probe some of the work that has been done to date. I heard Mr. Grant tell Senator Ward about the difficulty with the 7,000 figure and I acknowledge that he will come back to...

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: Is that across the UK and Ireland?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Gambling Regulation Bill: Discussion (8 Mar 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: The point I was making is about the scale of the sophistication of the online betting model. From a mathematical perspective it is quite extraordinary. Acknowledging that there are difficulties with gambling as we all know, I am trying to understand the scale of effort that is placed on monitoring and managing that and the relative weight given by the organisations to that given that they...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Gambling Regulation Bill: Discussion (8 Mar 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I thank everybody for coming in. I hope they will excuse my voice today. I have two questions. The first is for Mr. Le Jeune and relates to the comment he made suggesting that online gambling is no more unsafe than retail gambling. Will he go into that a little more? Mr. Le Jeune is on mute.

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Domestic, Sexual and Gender-based Violence (3 Mar 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I thank the Minister of State for her response and the update she gave. I note that some of the recommendations of the Citizens' Assembly on gender equality are already being met by the steps being taken towards the delivery of a strategy on domestic, sexual and gender-based violence. That is very important. What lies behind my reading out of the women's names is an effort to identify...

Today I want to take the opportunity to...

We look forward to seeing her here more often, I hope. I also wish to take a moment to acknowledge, as others have, Ronnie Fay, co-director of Pavee Point, who recently passed away. On this day last month, so many gathered to say...
