Gambling Regulation Bill 2022: Report Stage
Dail Éireann — 2024-04-24
============================================================

Thomas Gould (SF), Cork North-Central

I support amendment No. 11. We are trying to protect charities and sporting and community organisations so the Act does not negatively affect them, while excluding gambling companies or people looking to profit on the back of charitable events. There could be a situation where an event is being held and maybe 10% goes to the charity. That is being used as a backdoor around this legislation. The amendment stops companies abusing and getting on the shoulders of charities, sporting organisations and community groups.
