Gambling Regulation Bill 2022: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage
Dail Éireann — 2024-05-01
============================================================

Michael Collins (IND), Cork South-West

Then why do we need to change? They are not doing anything wrong. There is an old saying in Ireland, "If it ain’t broke, don't fix it". The Minister of State is saying he is going to allow these organisations to function in the very same way. Will there be absolutely no difference for any lotto that is being done by a local community, voluntary or sporting organisation? Can the Minister of State say that to me today? Will it be the same as it ever was? Is it "Yes" or "No"?
