A review of the Gaming and Lotteries Act, 1956 is being carried out by an interdepartmental review group consisting of representatives from my own Department, the Garda, the Revenue Commissioners, the Department of Finance and the Department of the Environment and Local Government.
The group, which commenced its work last June, is expected to finalise its deliberations by the end of the year and to report early in the new year.
