Gambling Regulation Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed)
9:30 am
James Browne (Wexford, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source
Some of the Senator's comments have left me a bit lost. Almost the entire Bill is about prevention and protection of people from gambling addiction. There are too many sections to even begin listing them, including sections on child protection. The social impact fund is not just downstream. In fact, education and awareness are specifically listed among the social impact fund's purposes. It is about those as well. To suggest this Bill is not about prevention of gambling is an extraordinary statement. I ask the Senator to reread the legislation.
