asked the Minister for Justice is he aware that many voluntary charitable organisations are anxious that proposals for legislation be introduced to enable them to raise funds by promoting lotteries on football and horse-racing results; and, if so, if he will make a statement in the matter.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Promotion of Lotteries.
The question of the amendment of the law relating to gaming and lotteries is under examination in my Department and I hope to have the matter considered by the Government at an early date.
I should like to know from the Minister whether he will take steps to ensure that the people who are operating at the moment will be allowed to continue until this matter is examined?
Mr. Boland
I certainly will not. As a matter of fact, I understand that proceedings are being taken against those who are continuing.
