Amendment No. 195 provides that where a premises is operated by Rásaíocht Con Éireann or Horse Racing Ireland, where other gambling licensees may also be operating from those premises, only the principal licensee shall apply to the authority to permit children and-or ATMs on those premises when applying to renew an in-person gambling licence. We have all been subject to a barrage of gambling advertising in recent years and while we are not all susceptible to this messaging, many people are and there is a significant uptick in the number of people affected by problem gambling or gambling addiction.
The authority may also consider existing and emerging practices in gambling and gambling activities, whether such activities generally or a particular type of gambling or gambling activity, for the purposes of identifying issues of concern arising from such practices.
