Gambling Regulation Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed)
10:30 am
Barry Ward (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
Regarding amendment No. 201, I welcome the cut from 60 days to 30 days. It always seems to me to be a ridiculously long period. I know that application is currently made with An Garda Síochána. There may be times when we do not need 30 days to make that application. Given that we are talking about raffles for good causes and all that kind of thing, would it not make sense - this may be something to consider for Report Stage - for the standard period to be 30 days but that it could be reduced by the regulator if she sees fit or if there is not a need for the full period to be satisfied?
