Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Tidy Towns (9 May 2024)

Seán Sherlock: If it is within her gift, I ask the Minister to request that the national judging committee of the Tidy Towns competition allow for judging to take place a little later than normal, given the existence of posters which might serve as a mitigating factor in the judging criteria.

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Tidy Towns (9 May 2024)

Seán Sherlock: I thank the Minister for her reply.

Gambling Regulation Bill 2022: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (1 May 2024)

Seán Sherlock: The Minister of State has provided some clarity. I seek further clarity, and forgive me if I sound pedantic in what I am about to say. I will stand corrected if I am wrong. I again ask the Minister of State to clarify section 148(2) which states, "A licensee may not offer a person or specific group of persons an inducement".
