Gambling Regulation Bill 2022: Report Stage (24 Apr 2024)

Paul Donnelly: I also appeal to the Minister of State not to proceed with this because it will have major implications for the organisations referred to by others. Gambling is a serious problem and is something that needs to be addressed. I absolutely agree with that, 100%. There is no argument whatsoever in relation to that. I want to give the Minister of State a couple of examples of organisations that...

Matt Shanahan: We are into the realm of unintended consequences here, as other speakers have pointed out. In my own GAA club in Waterford we held a fundraiser last year. Tickets were €100 and the prize was a house in Dungarvan. The draw raised €600,000 and that money is going exclusively into underage sports development. I can guarantee that the people who were buying the €100...

Thomas Gould: One of the first things I learned when I became a TD is that when it comes to legislation and amendments, there is the possibility of unintended consequences.

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin: I move amendment No. 15: In page 23, line 22, after "1956" to insert, "other than section 36". I am used to clearing rooms when I start talking. The practice in this country for hundreds of years has been that gambling debts are not enforceable in a court of law. This means that a bookie cannot force a person to pay a gambling debt, nor can a person force a bookie to pay out on a bet....

Pearse Doherty: Unfortunately, this was ahead of schedule so I missed some of the earlier contributions, which went very swiftly. Although it is in the Register of Member's Interests, I want to declare that I am a director of a not-for-profit music festival in Donegal. Everyone is welcome to come on 12 July. This music festival, being not for profit, also operates a philanthropic, lottery licence. I...

Catherine Murphy: There are a large number of charities and many of them are performing functions that really are public services. Many if not all of them rely on the ability to fundraise.
