View answerThe Betting (Amendment) Bill 2013 was published in July last. Following publication the EU Commission had to be notified under the Technical Standard Directive and a three month standstill period ensued. That standstill period is now ended. Second stage has been provisionally scheduled for Thursday 16th January 2014. The scheduling of committee and subsequent stages is a matter for the Oireachtas.
