Thomas Gould (Cork North Central, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I have listened to Deputy Doherty’s point of view. We have a guy in our club, Vincent Ahern, who goes around and runs all the draws. He is a brilliant bit of stuff. He is going around bars and shops on Blarney Street on the north side of Cork city, putting up posters to advertise all of the different fundraising that the club will be running during the year. If we get to a situation where the draw is over €10,000 or it is for a car, is that advertising? We would love to have a house if anyone wants to donate a house to us that we could raffle because we certainly do not have the money for one. In any case, we would consider that advertising but only advertising what the club is doing. For clarity, does that come under this section and is it classed as advertising? This would affect all GAA clubs and other sporting, community and charitable organisations. They might be just putting up a poster in the local shop or school. We actually put some up on fences in the area so people driving by would see them. I would like clarity on that.
