Kildare Senator Mark Wall has demanded that Government be more ambitious in its proposed regulation of the gambling sector, calling for a full ban on gambling ads.
With Red C polling in the Business Post showing clear public support for such a measure, the Labour sports spokesperson said a ban on ads is the right thing to do to protect those vulnerable to a gambling addiction and stop young people gambling.
“I am calling on Government to go the full way by implementing Labour’s Bill to ban gambling ads. The government’s new gambling control bill will impose a ban on all gambling advertising between 5.30am and 9pm, but we need to see more ambition and go the full way,” he remarked.
