Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 24 September 2014
93. Deputy Derek Nolan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if she will provide a timeframe within which the gambling control Bill will come before the Houses of the Oireachtas and when it is expected to become law; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35989/14]
View answerThe Deputy may be aware that the General Scheme of the Gambling Control Bill is currently with the Office of the Parliamentary Counsel awaiting formal legal drafting.
As per the Government's Autumn 2014 Legislative Programme, published in the last few days, the Gambling Control Bill is scheduled for publication in mid 2015.
It would be my intention to bring the Bill before the Oireachtas as soon as possible following its publication, with a view to its enactment once the Oireachtas process has been completed.
