Gambling Regulation Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed)
Seanad Éireann — 2024-09-26
============================================================

Barry Ward (FG), Industrial and Commercial Panel

I would have thought this was covered by section 6(1)(b) of the Freedom of Information Act, but I just want to be clear in terms of the proposer of amendment No. 70. Part 2 of this Bill establishes the body of the gambling regulator.
Section 6(1)(b) would state that any body established by statute is covered. Therefore, I am assuming if that is the case, and I am open to contradiction by the Minister in that regard, section 6(1)(b) of the Act covers us. Is the proposer of the amendment happy with that, if that is the case?
