Question:
23 Mr. Hayes asked the Minister for Finance whether it is the intention of the Government to introduce legislation to prohibit under 18s from betting on the tote; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9713/98]

The Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform and my Department are examining the issue of young people betting with the tote. I cannot say at this stage what the outcome will be. Any decision on legislative changes cannot be made until the examination is completed.
