The correspondence in question, from the Gaming and Leisure Association of Ireland, a body representing some operators of casinos, seeks to change the present policy of the Gaming and Lotteries Acts that makes such operations unlawful. Officials from my Department met recently with representatives of the Association in question and made it clear to them that I have no proposals to alter that policy. My reply to Parliamentary Question No. 318 of 13 June 2006 sets out my proposals for legislation to give better effect to the existing law in this regard.
