Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform (Deputy Brian Lenihan)

I wish to advise the Deputy that my predecessor received the final Report of the Casino Committee in April 2007. The Report is a detailed and comprehensive document dealing with all the issues placed before the Committee including the internet. After due consideration of these issues, I will be bringing the Report before the Government.
