Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I do not necessarily draw the same correlation but I at least note Mr. Le Jeune's source. Mr. Ó Ríordáin also made a comment. This speaks to what the committee and the Oireachtas are so concerned about, that is, safety in gambling. We have all had a number of constituents highlight the difficulties this issue has created in their lives and the lives of their families so it...

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...
