- Seanad: Gambling Regulation Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed) (26 Sep 2024)
Frances Black: Yes. Adding the Health Service Executive and regulating through a public health lens could be quite powerful, particularly for those who are impacted and their families. It would help them to understand the impacts of gambling from a health and well-being point of view.

- Seanad: Gambling Regulation Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed) (26 Sep 2024)
Frances Black: I will keep it short. This section sets out the terms of operation of the national gambling exclusion register. It is a really welcome provision in the legislation and our primary concern about the operation of the register is that it places essentially all of the obligation on a participant to keep themselves safe from harm. This suite of amendments tries to address this imbalance and...
- Seanad: Gambling Regulation Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed) (26 Sep 2024)

Like amendment No. 79, amendment No. 81 seeks to provide participants with the ability to request, when making an application, to be added to the exclusion register so that they would be excluded from data profiling and personalised advertising for the duration of time on which they remain on the register. The intention is much the same as amendment No. 79. I will not repeat it...
