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

Frances Black (IND), Industrial and Commercial Panel

Yes. Adding the Health Service Executive and regulating through a public health lens could be quite powerful, particularly for those who are impacted and their families. It would help them to understand the impacts of gambling from a health and well-being point of view. I genuinely believe that addiction problems have an impact on health, well-being and mental health. Is there any way the Minister of State might reconsider that with regard to having the Health Service Executive frame gambling harms through a public health lens? It would be quite powerful if it were feasible.
